What it can do in Rhino
- Inspect document info: units, tolerances, bounding box, object counts
- List and filter objects by layer, type, name, or geometry
- Read and edit object attributes, layers, and user text
- Modify geometry, materials, and display properties
- Trigger Grasshopper definitions and read results
- Surface model diagnostics for QA and handover
Beyond the model
Arkyv is not only a Rhino plugin. It is a full assistant with web search, regulation search, document editing, and structured planning available in every conversation.
- Regulatory Search: search regulations from your region
- Project Search: find information across your project files, emails, client requirements, and meeting notes
- Legal Search: search legal precedents (currently Sweden only)
- Web search: ask Arkyv to look something up online
- Plan mode: have Arkyv break a complex request into smaller divisible tasks
- xlsx editing: read and update your xlsx files
- docx editing: read and update your docx files
How it works
A Rhino plugin connects the active document to the Arkyv agent. Model reads and writes happen through the host plugin, and you review write actions before they run. The integration uses RhinoCommon to inspect and update document state while full model files are not uploaded by default.
