All delivered Live and Online followed by access to session recordings.

Course Objectives

The goal of this live and online course is to provide practical knowledge of Rhino.Inside®. Comprehensive and thorough hands-on exercises will allow users to gain immediate understanding of how to use Rhino.Inside in the context of the Autodesk Revit® environment. Attendees will be able to apply the workflows taught in this training in any design challenge which relies on establishing a link between Rhino and Revit.

Target Audience

AEC professionals from a broad scope of disciplines will benefit from attending this course, a solid basic knowledge of Rhino, Grasshopper and Revit is required. The course builds on a mix of theoretical and practical examples with an architectural backdrop, but the material is applicable to virtually any field which utilizes both software platforms. The knowledge gained is in that respect discipline agnostic.

Prerequisites

The class teaches Rhino.Inside.Revit. A basic understanding of both Rhino and Revit is therefore required. Rhino/Grasshopper: Basic understanding of Rhino/Grasshopper interface is required. There are no complex Rhino manipulations in the course. The GH definitions used throughout the course are kept relatively simple. The focus of this training is on Rhino.Inside.Revit functionality. Where more complex material is utilized, such as tree manipulation or python code, these will be explained in passing. Revit: Basic understanding of Revit interface is required. Concepts such as objects taxonomy inside Revit, or family creation, will be covered during the class where necessary.

Software

The course is based on Revit 2020 and Rhino 7 and these are the minimum requirements. It is possible to use Revit 2021 with minimum downtime for upgrading the course resources. No 3rd party Grasshopper libraries are required, but some of the now built-in ones, such as LunchBox will be used. A fresh installation of Rhino 7 will guarantee that all requirements are met.

Overview

Part 1 - Revit to Rhino

Intro Rhino.Inside is a relatively new platform and we begin with introducing the product developed by McNeel in the context of the need it fulfils in the AEC industry. What is BIM, Element Taxonomy Refresher on what BIM is and how that dictates a formal break down of elements. Revit Categories Understanding Revit Categories further to pave the way for correct Rhino.Inside use. Rhino.Inside Interface Introduction to the Rhino.Inside.Revit plugin. Location inside Revit, how to start. Location inside Grasshopper. The significance of Colour Coding inside Grasshopper. Revit to Rhino Layers Bring Revit elements to Rhino in an organized and robust manner. Generate Live Revit Geometry from Rhino Ever wanted to model in Revit as if it were Rhino? Finally, that day has come! Working with Links Bring elements from Revit Links.

Duration

The course is divided into two sections, first Revit to Rhino and secondly Rhino to Revit. All delivered over a total of 6 x 2.5 hour Live sessions (sessions are also recorded for post workshop trainee access).

Overview

Part 2 – Rhino to Revit

Intro to City Life Milan Project City Life Milan is a one of the most recent mixed-use projects in Milan by BIG. Rhino.Inside.Revit was used heavily during the production. The second part of the class will be focused on rebuilding a (simplified) version of the model. Create Levels We will start by creating Revit levels from Rhino points. Create Floors Learn how to create different types of native Revit elements, starting with Floors. Create Railings Using a similar concept, native Revit railings can be created using closed Rhino curves. Create Walls Things become more complicated when we start adding Curtain Walls and learn how to manipulate individual Curtain Mullions. Create Roof The most intricate part of the course teaches you how to add Components to create the final part of the model.
