Toolbars
VisualARQ toolbars work the same way as Rhino toolbars:
- You can drag them to any part of the screen or dock them to the edge of the screen.
- You can customize them by adding buttons to them or removing buttons from them.
- Some buttons have a second command that you can open with a right-click, running a different option related to the same command.
- Hover the mouse over a button to display a tooltip with the name of the commands that can be selected with a right or left-click.
- Some buttons (shown with a small triangle on the lower right corner) are linked to other toolbars with drop-down buttons.
Hold down the left mouse button on the icon to display the toolbar linked to a button.
Tooltips: hover the mouse over an icon to see the command it runs with the left and right click.

Open VisualARQ toolbars
If toolbars are not automatically displayed after installing VisualARQ, they have been closed, or don't appear on the screen, they can be loaded manually by using the same method used to load Rhino Toolbars:
Rhino 7:
- Type Toolbar on the command line (or go to Rhino Menu Tools > Toolbar Layout...)
- Select VisualARQ3 from the list of toolbar files available.
- Select the VisualARQ toolbars to load (by default we recommend selecting just the VisualARQ (4tabs) toolbar group.
Rhino 8:
- Type Toolbar on the command line (or go to Rhino Menu Window > Toolbars...)
- Select VisualARQ3 from the list of toolbar and toolbar groups.
- Select the VisualARQ toolbars to load (by default we recommend selecting just the Group: VisualARQ (4tabs) toolbar group.
Note:If the VisualARQ toolbar is not displayed in the list of toolbars and toolbar groups, in this toolbar layout dialog go to File > Open and search for the visualarq.rui file in one of these directories:
- Rhino 7: (C:\Users\"UserName"\AppData\Roaming\McNeel\Rhinoceros\7.0\UI)
- Rhino 8: (C:\Users\"UserName"\AppData\Roaming\McNeel\Rhinoceros\8.0\UI)
