R2Loki earns a place in the Superhive library as a focused architectural modeling addon covering rooms and structural elements, with further footing and staircase options noted as planned by the developer.
R2Loki is a Blender addon focused on architectural 3D modeling. It handles rooms, footings, columns, beams, walls, and staircases, letting you build L, U, and box-type rooms in a few clicks. Structural elements such as footings, columns, and beams can be added, and staircases designed instantly.
The addon is operated through a pie menu revealed by pressing 'Ctrl + R', giving quick access to its tools.

It is adaptable for residential, commercial, and industrial project types.
The developer notes that R2Loki may not cover every specific design need, so manual adjustments or additional tools may be required in some cases. Planned additions mentioned by the developer include circular footing, combined footing, and further staircase options such as open well and spiral staircases. R2Loki is released under the MIT license, and a demo video is available.
