Rhino To Revit Roof

There are a lot of ways to bring in the rhino geometry but in this case we will.

Rhino to revit roof. Creating a revit directshape roof. Exporting elements from rhino so you can import useful shapes into revit. By enabling the directshape component in the grasshopper canvas grasshopper will then create a roof based on the lofted surface from grasshopper. The surface is then used to create a roof in revit.

The simple script that is shown calls for the selection of two revit edges and it uses them to create a geometrical surface by lofting them. This will set the view so you can see the rest of the transfers. In this case rhino is not used as an intermediary. Depending on the base geometry revit may make editing the mass accessible via grips push pull arrows but this is not always the case.

This sample shows how to take normal rhino breps curves and points into revit. In this video scott davidson of mcneel will demonstrate how to transfer information from rhino to revit creating revit objects from rhino geometry. Of course with a little more work that roof could be a roof from boundary and create a roof system family. However the best method to generate native revit elements from rhino is to use the wall by face roof by face curtain system and or mass floors commands.

Rhino to revit rvt revit model for the sample. See hd version of video tutorial here. Rhino office 3dm rhino model containing the source building model. Bringing across the model.

Grasshopper is launched directly from revit. This will activate and import the roof geometry on a layer in rhino called roof.
