What is the course about?
This course is designed for professionals and students already familiar with Revit, Rhino, and Grasshopper, aiming to bridge the gap between these platforms by exploring the powerful integration offered by Rhino.Inside Revit. The primary goal is to introduce participants to the fundamental concepts of Rhino.Inside Revit, equipping them with the skills to leverage this integration effectively in their workflows.
The course emphasizes learning through practice, presenting a collection of concise, focused case studies that showcase practical applications. Rather than limiting the scope to basic operations like creating simple Revit walls using Grasshopper, the course delves into advanced and inspiring use cases. These include parametric façade design, organic architectural forms, and automating laborious tasks like documentation, highlighting the true potential of combining Rhino’s advanced modelling capabilities with Revit’s BIM environment.

This lesson will explain the concept of Rhino Inside Revit, and explore some examples of applications where it is useful.
Rhino Inside Revit requires an initial installation & setup. This lesson will provide a simple guide to setup, as well has tips on how to launch the program and use 3 different windows.
Elements in Revit have a ‘DNA’ that defines its type and use. This lesson will explain element DNA and how this is applicable in Rhino Inside Revit.
This lesson will explore the user interface for the Rhino Inside Revit tools inside both Grasshopper and Revit. This explanation will explore the component anatomy, explaining the different colour categories and how they are used.
Rhino Inside Revit can pass information back and forth between both programs. This lesson will provide simple examples of the two ways information can be passed back and forth between Rhino and Revit.
This lesson will explore a working example of how to create a parametric tower using Rhino Inside Revit. Walls, floor plates and levels will be passed from Rhino into Revit.
This lesson will follow on from the tower modelling exercise to explore how to create a parametric façade on a building using an attractor point algorithm that controls a curtain wall family on a façade.
This lesson will explore how to create an organis pavilion-like structure in Rhino & Grasshopper, and pass it to Revit as an adaptive family component with a beam family in Revit.
This lesson will explore how to automate view & sheet creation using Rhino Inside Revit, and dynamically dimension elements on a sheet.
