This view shows us the Revit view of the tube. The tube is originally created in Revit using an in‐place massing command and creating a form.
This is the rhino view of the tube that was originally exported from rhino as an AISC solid.
From our observation we see that this process of exporting solids from Revit only appears in Rhino 5.

Why do we prefer interchanging from Revit to Rhino?
This is an effective way of modeling and experiencing from one program to the next. It provides a good backup of knowing two modeling software's instead of one. If we fail to model from one program we could use the other. It is versatile and easy to use were we can be efficient in accomplishing projects in half the time needed.
Our first order of business before exporting is creating the mass:
Click on the Massing & Site
The Massing & Site Tab gives us these options
Click In‐Place Mass to Begin the massing of the solid. We are thinking of making a curve with a sweep of a circle.
For now we are going to click Do not save the project and name it as snake.
A whole new tab will appear at the top that will replace the Massing & Site Tab.
We click on the Spline command which allows us to create a smooth curve that we can control.
From here we can click anywhere in the plane and start drawing lines.
When we draw we start noticing the angle and the line drawn. For every click it creates points but for now we can arbitrarily click any point or angle for now.
This is the final product
Click on the point element and then click on the plane on the curve.
The end point is highlighted to show the target.
After creating the point we click at the point of the curve.
Click on the set work plane to make sure that the curve that we are about to draw is perpendicular to the curve that is already drawn.
For now we click on the Circle curve to draw the circle at that point.
We see that after clicking the circle and moving it to the curve the point highlights the perpendicular curve. This means that the curve we are about to draw is perpendicular to the plane.
The Circle that is drawn in the curve is perpendicular to the curve itself. From this standpoint the curve can be adjusted to any radius. For now we can pick any radius.
For Now we click the Create Form tab which will allow us to form the shape of this figure.
However they give us two options of Solid and Void Form. For now we pick Solid form. If we automatically click on the create form the computer assumes the solid form.
We select the two curves to make sure that the tube is created
We click Finish mass to ensure that the mass is completed.
Now our other objective is to make this tube shown in Rhino:
We click on the R button which is the Revit option that gives us the ability to save our documents.
We next click on export
After clicking on export we click on CAD formats then click the DWG file.
This window of massing will show up but we can click close mass for now.
This window shows the DWG export option from here we will click this extension. Our main objective is to make sure this is an AISC solid file.
From here we click on the solid tab.
From here we click at the AISC solid option to make sure that the rhino file will take the solid object.
Click Ok to continue
Click Next to continue to the saving process and for now we will save it as MyFile
Click ok to proceed but we first save it as a 2007 DWG file
Our next step is to open up Rhino to see how the imported objects look
Our next step is to open up the file menu and click on open.
This is our targeted file but since this is not the 2007 file we save another version of it.
The fixed 2007 DWG version
For now we click OK and assume that the imported file has sustained all its dimensions.
The Curve itself or the tube is viewed in many different dimensions. Import is complete
