Arkio is a collaborative design tool that enables you to sketch buildings, interiors or urban plans with others using VR, desktops, tablets and phones.
Design by yourself or work with up to 24 people to make better design decisions faster. Create buildings, virtual cityscapes, Unity scenes with triggers and colliders, remodel your kitchen or review existing 3D models.
Work in VR or use Arkio’s passthrough support on Quest to blend real and virtual worlds like never before. Create walls, place virtual furniture or create portal windows from the real world into the VR world beyond.
Arkio features a unique volumetric modeling kernel built for VR and mobile devices, making the modeling experience feel closer to physical model-making than traditional 3D apps.
In Arkio you can either start fresh or import reference images, 3D models and scenes from Unity, Revit, Rhino, SketchUp, LiDAR apps and more. Easily create new design options in Arkio then export your work back.
Streaming ideas. Great sketching/ideation platform for architects, designers and students with many useful functionalities that other apps don't necessarily offer yet. Loads of improvements and new stuff compared to earlier releases. Integration to Revit, BIM360, Unity etc., collaboration mode and import/export capabilities makes this a must have at least for me. It's not about mind-boggling photorealism, but a very handy tool.
Has a lot of potential, but... This software really needs more quality of life features. For example, when editing an object, the measurements of its dimensions are often obscured by the object itself. Being able to see those numbers through an object would make resizing much easier.
