Rhino Inside: Revit Elements into Rhino (Part 1)

Time to kick off a series on Rhino Inside - a great new tool which connects Rhino and Revit together! This means we can use Grasshopper in Revit, a massive breakthrough for computational designers. In this first part, I cover how to bake out elements from Revit into Rhino using filtering criteria. In the next parts we will cover reading and setting parameter values in Revit.

I hope you enjoy the session and learn something new! Feel free to comment any feedback/questions below, or follow my channel if you enjoyed this.

Thanks for this video. It was REALLY helpful.

Would be great to have an update series as the latest version has made some of the command obsolete. Thanks 👍🏼

The bake function works when you want to import Rhino Geometry into Revit. You need to choose a category while baking the geometry into Revit.

I discovered your channel through a LinkedIn post that popped up! What a great discovery!! Going to probably watch everything asap, as there isn't an awful lot of content in terms of getting Revit into rhino and grasshopper, which is as easy to follow.

I literally just discovered this tool, does it work both ways? Rhino to Revit as well?

I find the IFC method being developed by John is very complicated to get into, given limited time to self teach.

In the future, revit will only be used to document and quantify projects LOL. Great video, cheers from Mexico City

Hey there, this is super exciting!!! Finally there's a proper tool enables the two to talk to each other smoothly, surprisingly it's not 3rd party plugin. Great tutorial to unveil the mystery of Rhino.inside. I followed through all your explanation, it works great. Looking forward to seeing more... Thanks

Thank you for the video. at 7:47 "Document Element" doesn't seem to be there in the latest R.I.R Grasshopper?

[aferrarotto]

extremely useful!!! Is it also possible to do the same with the Zones and also get the parameters to rhino ?

[DonSkarbeck]

Can you do one on doing Curtain Panels on two joined arcs? Great channel, keep it up!

Hi. I can't select modelt categorispicker. I'm using revit 2024 and rhino 8. Do you know is updated?

Everything is unrecogniseable in new Rhino inside Revit.

[sabernajafzade]

hello sir . thank you for your investigate in Rhino inside Revit . i want to bake revit object family such as bed, M_Table Lamp - Standard, with Pole, but in grasshopper it couldn't distinguish that and it error says " empty revit parameters " . . . what should i do ??!! Thanks alot

I had some problems after export the geometry. When I put section on a sheet, the geometry was cutted, but even the cut lines are showing as projection lines. ;s

So, Now Grasshopper can be used for Revit workflows, So will there be any insecurities for Dynamo? Are they like to say, Will Rhino Inside Revit(RiR) kill Dynamo? What's your view?

Hey Gavin. I'm trying to pull a DWG from Revit through grasshopper so I can create a workflow for something that changes often and is setup with DWG lines. I can get the DWG as a Graphical Element but I don't see a way to pull layer data to filter layers. Any thoughts here? I know I could just Import into Rhino but I'm trying to avoid that step if possible.

Hi Gavin ! could you give me the link download for Rhino inside Revit (include Rhino WIP, Im using Rhino 6 and Revit 2019). I only find on internet Rhino 7 version and when i setup, program ask license. Thanks!

[nikouer]

I use your steps and work fine, except railing. It picks all railings except the top railing. l looks like a bug. I use the default railing 900mm pipe.

[kryptk]

Make a video on how to install it it doesn't install in my revit 2018 with rhino 7

[avishekkadel]

I have cracked version of rhino 6 so couldnt add the licence key of rhino wip. Can you provide me a crack of rhino wip?
