ArcGIS to Rhino

arcgis to rhino

Speckle is your data hub that connects with your AEC tools.

Instantly sync your design team: get everybody on the same page.

Lightweight geometry

Transfer your multi-source ArcGIS model (IFC, DWG, etc.) into Rhino as mesh, curve and point geometry, with their original colors. Models are loaded into its own Rhino layer, with sublayers reflecting the ArcGIS layer structure in the TOC.

Decide what to share

Don’t overload Rhino with unnecessary trades. Use Speckle to publish exactly the datasets you need—like the cadaster parcels or an imported IFC model. No need to publish and load an entire project.

Update notifications

Get immediately notified in Rhino when there’s a new ArcGIS model version to load. Keep your team perfectly in sync and working with the latest model.

Smart collaboration

Get your team’s comments as soon as they make them so you can resolve issues immediately. Use Speckle for ArcGIS as a model store for federated models from other applications, giving you indefinite 3D access to your projects - long after your other licenses have expired.

Good to know

This workflow is intended for geometric design coordination between different models and disciplines.
ArcGIS object attributes will be published, but not loaded in Rhino.
Layer types that rely on web services are not yet supported.
