mARCH Kit available for modo for architectural visualization

Luxology’s modo is one of the fastest growing top-end 3D software suites in the market and the Apple Design award-winning software firm made modo extensible architecturally early on. A new modo 701 add-on is mARCH by Neil Hayes and it consist of a collection of easy-to-use plugins and scripts that aid in the process of creating buildings in modo.

With mARCH you can transition 2D drawing data into 3D structures or create conceptual designs more quickly as compared to using modo’s own built-in tools. The user can streamline tasks for modeling, measuring, geometry slicing, alignments, trimming openings with profiles for moldings, et cetera.
