I’m going through the Ville Savoye tutorial and realized there’s a missing segment on adding the handrails to the stair fences. Were they done with curves and piping or by using the VisualARQ rail component? If was with VisualARQ, maybe a quick few steps on how to set that up would be great, thanks.
Hi Donald, the handrail of the stairs in the tutorial were done using the Pipe command. Using the VisualARQ railing command you couldn’t do the fillet join between the handrail and the vertical segment at the end of it.
So once you have the railing path curve, run the pipe command and define the pipe radius. You may need to run this command for each segment of the railing path curve, and afterwards join the resulting polysurfaces.
Regards,
Got it thanks!
Hi Francesc,
Quick question: how old is the Villa Savoye tutorial? Now that we’re in 2025, I realised it’s been around for almost 9 years and was made back in VisualARQ v2! For die-hard Le Corbusier fans, it’s a treat, sure. But for someone just trying to model a simple house, it feels more like a geometry puzzle from a sci-fi movie.
Honestly, it’s an “absolute beginner’s nightmare.” Figuring out all that complex geometry before even placing a wall? Yikes. It’s elegant, no doubt, but maybe not the most welcoming start for new users.
Wouldn’t it be great to have something more approachable? A friendly little house, a room layout, anything to help newcomers build confidence before diving into the architectural deep end?
Thanks for all the amazing work so far, just hoping we can balance iconic with practical for the next wave of users!
Hi @Emma_Louise_Boulben Thanks for your comments!
We are working on a new tutorial (recorded with VisualARQ 3), with a simpler project to learn VisualARQ from scratch.
