Visual Arq Metal Decking

I was following the instructions from this link,

yet the metal decking size does not adjust based on the object, any idea what could have gone wrong?

Take a look at the properties of the object, maybe “Span and Width” by style is there. I also had the problem from time to time that it wasn’t copied over there correctly.

Hi @정연인, In VisualARQ 2, the slabs created from Grasshopper styles take the dimenions based on parameters in the Grasshopper definition. These slabs are inserted from an insert point.
In VisulARQ3 the slabs created from a Grasshopper style require a boundary curve, just like any other regular slab. The boundary curve in the GH file acts as a linked property with the new slab style. That way, you don’t need to define the dimensions in the GH file, because the slab will fit with the input curve you select.
You can see how it works in this video: https://youtu.be/789JeSaVKeY

Looks good. VisualArq is slowly becoming a real BIM software that can be used commercially. I’m looking forward to the parametric dependency of the objects on the layers.

@bjornsmolarek what do you mean?

@fsalla
Sorry, my English is not that good. I meant that objects are bound to the levels, which should come in VA3. For example, if the height of the level changes, the object is bound to it and follows it, the bottom edge follows the lower assigned level and the top edge follows the upper assigned level.

Like in typical BIM software like Allplan, Vectorworks etc.

All right, yes, this feature is included in VisualARQ3.
