Problems loading VisualArq

Hi,

I seem to be having this issue whenever I open up my Rhino. VisualArq doesn’t load, Error Loading - VisualARQ.rhp. I have already done a few uninstalls of VA, hoping to fix the problem, but I can’t seem to get it to run. Toolbars are present, but nothing works. Any idea what is going on?

Thanks,
BK

Hi @briankhoozh,

Can you check if “Tibidabo” and “VisualARQ” plug-in are both enabled in the Plug-in Manager inside Rhino Options?

Hi Enric,

It appears that my VisualARQ plugin is missing. Tibidabo is there though, and activated. I tried repairing VA but it’s not working.

Can you try to load the plug-in manually?

  1. click the “Install…” button
  2. navigate to “C:\Program Files\Rhino 6\Plug-Ins\Tibidabo” folder
  3. select “VisualARQ.rhp”
  4. click “Open”

We have detected some cases of this issue when the plug-in was disabled before installing/upgrading VisualARQ.

Hi Enric,

Thanks, this works!

Hi, I’ve had the same problem but it didn’t fix doing the instruction you said…

Hi @massyya70,

Have you checked that “Tibidabo” and “VisualARQ” plugins are both enabled in “Rhino Options > Plugins” ?

Regards,

Enric

Yes, none were installed, and I installed “Tibidabo” successfully but “visualARQ” was unsuccessful and it showed following error:
“Unable to load VisualARQ.rhp plug-in: application initialization failed.”

Hi @massyya70,

If neither Tibidabo or VisualARQ were listed in the Rhino Plug-in Manager, then there is a problem with the VisualARQ installation.

Please, try to uninstall VisualARQ and Lands Design (if you have it installed) and reinstall it again.

Which version of Rhino do you have installed?

Thanks,

Enric

I have Rhino 6.20 .
And yeah, the problem started when I installed lands design.
Is there any problem to have both (“visualARQ” and “lands design”) installed?
I need both.

It worked.
Thank you.
How can I have “Lands Design” with “VisualARQ” ?

Hi @massyya70,

Yes, install last versions of both plugins:

  • VisualARQ 2.7
  • Lands Design RC3

Regards,

Enric

Oh, yes.
Thanks.

Hi I have the same problem only when I’m using Rhino inside revit the plugin visual arq does not run, tried the installation process as above but an error keep coming up, what can I do to fix the issue?

Hi Scott,
Check this Topic: VisualArq / Rhino.Inside Revit problem - #2 by fsalla
A similar problem was reported some time ago. It should be fixed already, but just in case, try that out. Also, make sure you are running the latest VisualARQ version (and VRay’s).
Please let me know how it goes.

Hi Francesc

Hi Scott, What VisualARQ version are you using? just make sure you have the latest one: Download - VisualARQ
Let me know if you still get the same problem.

Hi Francesc
I have uninstalled and reinstalled visual arq, I think it’s the bridge between rhino inside Revit and grasshopper, because when I run visual arq grasshopper alone in rhino no errors pop up, but when I launch rhino inside Revit and start grasshopper visual arq the error messages appear.
Could there be a file that needs to be moved into a system file?

*All plugins are available, it is only when rhino inside is running they are missing.
*I’m also following the tutorial video Revit families to Visual Arq and the custom profile plugin is missing error shows up when rhino inside Revit is running

@user992 we suspect that this error has to do with the fact the ironPython plugin was not loaded in the moment of loading VisualARQ. We have just released a new update of VisualARQ which fixes this error. VisualARQ 2 - Version 2.12.4 released
Please install it and try to run VisualARQ inside revit again. Let me know if the problem persists.
Cheers,
