Keystone by Seraphin Ernst – architecture tools for Rhino 8. VectorView: turns an isometric view into a fully vectorized drawing. Every visible face and every cast shadow becomes a closed, non-overlapping region with solid hatches, scaled to true length and exported straight to DWG in millimeters. Shadows follow Rhino's sun. Commands: VectorView, VectorViewSettings, VectorViewPanel. TrussBuilder: steel and timber trusses along any curve and steel space frames over a rectangle, step by step with a live preview of the real result and a built-in preliminary design (Eurocode based) that proposes suitable sections – HEA/HEB/IPE, tubes, double angles, tension rods, solid timber or glulam with slotted-in plates and dowels, ball nodes. Commands: TrussBuilder, TrussBuilderSpaceFrame, TrussBuilderPanel. BrickBuilder: brick walls in real masonry bonds along any curve – pick the outer or inner edge, give the height, the brick format (NF, DF, 2DF, Waal, UK, US or custom), the joints and the bond: stretcher, raking stretcher, header, English, English cross, Flemish, Monk, Silesian, American, wild or stack bond, half-brick facing leaf up to two-brick walls. Corners, wall ends and closers are laid like on site, cut bricks go to the middle of non-modular walls. Live preview of the bricks from the first step, bricks as blocks or solids, mortar body, course plans, pieces list. Commands: BrickBuilder, BrickBuilderPanel.
