Rhino Plugin
Rhino setup plugin controls for classifying Rhino objects as Revit types. Plugin provides Rhino.Inside.Revit integration for easy, direct interoperability.
•
•
Direct Modeling in Rhino
Create Rhino objects directly in Rhino using standard commands and methods. Native Rhino objects can be transferred directly into Revit.
•
•
Parametric Workflows in Rhino
Define and author geometry using Grasshopper in Rhino and can be extended with Rhino.Inside.Revit components.
•
•
Read Rhino 3DM from Revit
Revit plugin reads contents and classified objects from Rhino into Revit
•
•
Selective Rhino Object Import
Selectively import classified Rhino objects into Revit as BIM elements.
•
•
Selective Rhino Object Update
Identify Rhino object changes and selectively update Rhino objects into Revit.
•
•
DirectShape Materials
Imported DirectShapes will possess assigned materials coordinated between Rhino and Revit
•
•
DirectShape Material Assignment Utility
A Revit utility for assigning and updating materials of a DirectShape – including individual faces.
•
•
Get Revit Parameters into Rhino
When a Revit object is imported into Rhino, the Revit parameters are assigned as Rhino User Data on the object
•
•
Dynamic Bidirectional Updating
Users can edit imported objects in Revit and resend them to Rhino for further adjustment, retaining the same GUID.
•
Send Curtain Wall Grids to Revit
Users can send curtain wall grids to Revit, and can choose to automatically populate the Grid lines with Mullions upon import.
•
Send new Materials to Revit
When a Rhino object has a material name that does not yet exist in Revit’s material library, Conveyor creates a new Revit material, which inherits the Rhino material’s properties, and assigns it to the imported geometry.
•
Send nested Blocks to Revit
Users can send Rhino blocks that are composed with Rhino blocks to Revit as Families.
