The innovative development of Rhino.Inside.Revit v1.0, sponsored by Robert McNeel & Associates, is shaking up the Autodesk Revit® environment like never before. This avant-garde project integrates the capabilities of Rhino and Grasshopper, powerful modeling and visual programming systems respectively, right into the Autodesk Revit® environment. The amalgamation of these robust tools expands the possibilities for architects and designers, enhancing their ability to create and manipulate complex forms and designs.
The Rhino 3D integration within Revit is an excellent addition, bringing its superior surface modeling capabilities to the Revit environment. Known for its quick and precise freeform geometry engine, Rhino also supports meshes and point clouds, making it a great interoperability tool. With its compatibility with over 40 file formats, Rhino is an essential tool for cross-platform work. The integration offers a seamless transition from Rhino modeling to Revit, without the need for file exports or conversions.
The inclusion of Grasshopper within Revit opens up an entirely new world of possibilities. Known for its visual programming environment, Grasshopper is designed to work in concord with Rhino’s 3D modeling tools. This powerful tool allows designers to create generative forms, from simple shapes to complex awe-inspiring designs. The best part? Grasshopper requires no knowledge of programming or scripting, making it an accessible tool for all designers.
What makes Rhino.Inside.Revit v1.0 truly revolutionary is the addition of over 300 Revit-aware components to Grasshopper. These components can analyze, modify, query, and even create native Revit elements. With each new software release, additional components are added to support more Revit native types.
The new development goes beyond just adding components. It introduces new workflows for working with Revit's elements, parameters, types, families, and categories. It even includes workflows for dealing with Revit's document storage and sharing, basic & stacked walls, curtain walls & systems, and materials.
Further enhancing the Rhino.Inside.Revit experience is the BIM360 File Locker plugin. This tool allows teams to work with Revit, Rhino, and Grasshopper files in the same Autodesk BIM360® project. This ensures easy collaboration and smooth workflows within your team, regardless of the tools you are using.
For those who are well-versed in programming and scripting, the Rhino.Inside.Revit provides a translation API, allowing for custom conversion workflows between Revit data and Rhino geometry and metadata. This also includes a specialized geometry conversion API for translating complex Rhino shapes into Revit.
With AutoCAD and Revit already being leading tools in architecture and design, the integration of Rhino.Inside.Revit is a game-changer. Not only does it bring together the best of both worlds in terms of modeling and programming, but it also enhances the overall functionality and user experience of Autodesk Revit® environment.
