Revit to Rhino (Rhino Inside)

An example on how to automate transfering geometry from Revit to Rhino

This is the workflow I use more often when working with Rhino and Revit on a project.

Transferring information from Revit to Rhino is relatively easy, especially using Rhino Inside.

How this script works:

  1. You can select only the categories that you want to import.

  2. Select only visible elements or specific worksets.

  3. Use Elefront to organize the layers in Rhino as you want. I have created 2 modes for this:

    A. Bake each Revit category and type inside its own layer in Rhino.

    B. Utilize object materials to generate a layer hierarchy in Rhino based on material names.

This video shows you the script in its full glory: πŸ‘€ 

If you don’t know what Elefront is check here.

It is one of the most powerful GH plugins for Data Management.

I will talk about it in more detail in a different post.

Bye! πŸ‘‹
