Installation

Prerequisites

• Rhino 8 (PC only)
• Windows 10 or above
• An ArchiTool account — the same sign-in you use on architool.ai

In case you do not have a Rhino license, download a fully featured, free trial version.

Installation

Step 1: Launch Rhino 8 and Open the Package Manager

1. Start Rhino 8:
   Launch the Rhino 8 application on your computer.
2. Access the Package Manager:
   Open the Package Manager via the menu or by typing PackageManager command into the Rhino command line.

Step 2: Search for and Install Architool

1. Search for the Plugin:
   In the Package Manager, enter 01A_Architool in the search bar.
2. Select the Latest Version:
   From the search results, choose the most recent version of Architool.
3. Install the Plugin:
   Click the install button to download and integrate Architool with Rhino.

Step 3: Launch and Use Architool

1. Open the panel:
   Type ArchiTool in the Rhino command line. A dockable panel opens alongside your viewport; run it again to close the panel.
2. Sign in:
   Use the same account as architool.ai. One sign-in covers Rhino, Revit and the website.
3. Run a tool:
   Pick a tool in the panel. It reads the model you already have open — no export, no upload — and bakes its results back as native geometry on named layers.
