Conveyor uses a combination of Layer organization and user text attributes to manage the translation of Rhino objects into Revit elements. Conveyor comes with utilities for setting up a Rhino file from scratch or exporting a Rhino file with setup information from Revit.

Option 1: Start with a new or existing Rhino file.

In Rhino 7, perform the following steps to setup your file for use with Conveyor.

2. Verify that the Conveyor nested layer structure has been created
3. Select objects and assign them to Conveyor Categories and Types in the Conveyor UI panel. Refer to the Compatibility Summary.
4. Save the Rhino file, then refer to the Conveyor Importer or Revit + Rhino Direct instructions.
