Select an outline, and Arka lays out a house inside it and furnishes
the rooms. Arka’s models run on your computer: nothing about
your model leaves it.

What it does
One Arka panel with three tabs: Generate, Furnish and
Licence. Type Arka to open it, or
ArkaGenerate, ArkaFurnish or
ArkaLicence to open it on that tab.
Generate
Select the house’s outline: a closed curve, a hatch, a
planar surface, a solid, or curves that close a loop. Arka offers
two to eight layouts inside it, each furnished in a plan preview.
Choose a house or an apartment, the rooms, an open plan, the wall
thicknesses and the wall height. Pick one and click
Build: walls, doors, windows (or none), named
room outlines, balcony railings and the furniture, on layers under
“Arka”. One Undo removes it.
Furnish
Select room outlines (closed curves or hatches), or keep them on a
layer named Rooms. Arka guesses each room’s type from its
name, and you can correct it and change its furniture list: tick
pieces in or out, change how many, add one. Furnishing a room
again replaces only the pieces Arka put there before.
Good to know
The furniture is Rhino blocks, coloured, with a render material for
each colour.
Your model’s units are respected: millimetres, centimetres,
metres, inches or feet.
Generate works on one storey at a time, inside an outline with
square corners.
On your computer
Arka’s models ship with the plug-in and run on your computer.
There is no Arka server in between and no charge per use, and
nothing about your model leaves the computer.
Only the licence is checked online, with Lemon Squeezy: the key, and
this computer’s name when you activate it. A subscription is
checked every few days and keeps working offline for two weeks in
between.
