Welcome to the JARCH-Vis v2.0 wiki!

JARCH Vis is an add-on for Blender 3D that allows certain architectural elements like flooring, roofing, siding, and windows, to be created easily. The add-on is parametric in nature, meaning the design and size of all elements can be easily customized by modifying values in the user interface. Additionally, JARCH Vis supports "converting" meshes, meaning existing geometry made out of planes can be converted so that it is covered with flooring, siding, or roofing.

How to install JARCH Vis

1. Download the latest release
2. Extract the downloaded .zip file
3. Navigate to the extracted folder.
4. Copy the folder in the extracted folder. They will have the same name, you want to copy the inner one
5. Paste the folder in Blender Foundation/Blender/2.xx/scripts/addons or where ever your LOCAL or USER script path is.
6. Rename the copied folder to jarch_vis. (renaming is not needed in newer versions)
   • On macOS, the copied folder might have an extension that it got during the extraction process, like .0. If it does, make sure to rename the folder to no longer have that extension.
7. Open Blender and open User Preferences > Add-ons
8. Search JARCH Vis and activate the add-on
