Session 2.5
Rhino.Inside: Connecting Grasshopper to Revit
Synopsis:
Rhino.Inside is an open source Rhino WIP project which allows Rhino and Grasshopper to run inside other 64-bit Windows applications such as Revit, AutoCAD and Unity. Yep that’s right, you heard right – Rhino and Grasshopper within Revit! This class with demonstrate how to harness the power of Rhino.Inside to improve interoperability and functionality within Revit.
Learning Objectives:
1. Understand and identify opportunities for Rhino.Inside to be implemented into your existing BIM workflows
2. Understand the benefits of using Rhino.Inside over Dynamo
3. Create bi-directional workflows between Revit and Rhino to maximise interoperability
Body:
For years now, AEC professionals have struggled with interoperability between different softwares. This gave rise to a whole range of interoperability tools such as Flux and Konstru. Over recent years however, there has been a concerted effort to replicate other software capabilities natively within Revit using Dynamo. However, it seems now that in one fell swoop, Robert McNeel & Associates have solved what others couldn’t with the release of Rhino.Inside.
