Revit to Rhino & Rhino to Revit

[@gaogeyang]

Really helpful for architectural students, who used to build walls in Rhino for days!

[@Youssefelmergawy]

The best video out there! Thank you Dustin

[@MrCristos1968]

With ‘’patch’’ instead of ‘’loft’’ on Rhino it works the ‘’wall by face’’on Revit. Thanks a lot. Good Tutorial anyway.

To apply material to mass, explode the import and you can apply material to on the properties. You can also place import as mass via revit icon>new>conceptual mass. SAT files does not recognize layers like DWG so you cant apply material through layers. Dont import as dwg when importing solids

Thanks Dustin Really Appreciate your help:)

Found this....listened for about 5 minutes until I realized...wow this voice sounds familiar.

THANKS GUY!

[@yushenghuang2246]

very clear，thanks ！

[@brandonfairbanks376]

The direction are very clear and that's great. Any idea what would cause the sat file from rhino not to place into revit? When insert the file, I get the same warning messages, but there is no mass.

[@dustinheadley2650]

+Brandon Fairbanks Some of my students have had this issue. The surfaces are either to complex or their are too many of them trying to be imported all at once.

[@brandonfairbanks376]

+dustin headley I managed to figure it out. I was using more rectilinear geometry than you showed and skipped over creating a surface in rhino before exporting. Once I did that there was no issue. Thanks for the great video, it's going to save me a lot of time this semester.

[@dustinheadley2650]

Sorry for the delayed response. Yes, I've had very similar issues. First solution is to make sure everything is exploded into single surfaces. Second (if things still aren't coming in) is to use the rebuild command (this is less ideal since you'll lose resolution of the internal geometries).

[@Lyanxd]

This was a lifesaver but I got a question, if I export a building model from revit to rhino and I make the organic surfaces there, when I finish it I have to delete all the walls, floors and roofs I made in Revit before exporting it back and only keep the surfaces i made in Rhino, right? Thanks in advance, you already helped me a lot :)

[@dustinheadley2650]

Lyanxd Not sure I understand this question. What are you trying to do exactly? The SAT extension that enables Rhino to talk to Revit is a CAD reference and doesn't maintain any of the intelligence that the parametric wall models have in Revit... So If you edit in Rhino, they yes the process restarts. I think that covers your Q.

[@andrewjiang2095]

thank you! useful

[@tylerwallace1]

Hi Dustin, thanks for the video. When I export ACIS solids, my windows and doors don't cut the walls. I can fix this by exporting as Polymesh, but is there a way to fix this problem without having to export as mesh?

[@helmazeanali4274]

i 've imported the file but still cant see it in rhino, I can see all the layers.

[@Ismacgomez]

Thanks! really usefull!

[@Sakura1434]

THANK YOU !!!!!

[@Eiszeitt]

Is it kind of easy to export a complete building from Rhino to Revit? I don't know Revit at all, but for Projectmanagement I need the door lists and all those helpfull features, and i'm pretty good with Rhino.

[@dustinheadley2650]

Filho do Gelo You can get the schedules (another video I have, or just google revit door schedule tutorial) easily from Revit. Not sure what you're wanting to model though. That would be the question. You'll get the polysurfaces that you want (instead of meshes) so you can actually use Rhino. If you are modeling in Rhino and going to Revit, you need to create a door family so that it will show up on the schedule. But then you can create some custom assemblies.

[@ivanenriquesorianopastor9254]

Could you tell me, how I can import a point Cloud into Revit, somebody tells me that It's posible using Rhino, but there is a intermediate step, do you know something about this?

[@korycox8827]

Just so we're clear, at 5:35 when he says it will takes days to make that surface in Revit, he's wrong. I can do it just as fast as he did in Rhino.

[@thirtysixzed]

how?

[@luishaza7136]

@@thirtysixzed Using the Conceptual mass option, then place it in the current project

[@luishaza7136]

When most people say you can't do conceptual masses or designs in Revit..It's a myth. I recently designed an art museum concept using conceptual mass...100% of the design was using curvature ; then I was able to in-place it in the regular object, create the walls, floors...everything. But obviously keep in mind Rhino was meant for conceptual designs so that is why it is still superior in terms of speed and unlimited creation. Revit does have it's ways though..

[@chiarachiaretta]

THANKS!!!!!

[@abdullahilhadi4393]

i have converted my Revit file to FBX & imported it into Rhino, but there's no texture. Solution? Thanks ^_^

[@MrCristos1968]

cannot place the ''wall by face'' on Rev 2016

[@dustinheadley2650]

You still can, it's located in the drop down in the architecture tab. Make sure you create a mass and finish it first though so that Revit can translate import.

[@allahiyan]

u r serious that surface take days to model in refit?

[@rafatjahandideh4933]

+mostafa tavakoli ..I will actually not take days to do that form/surface in Revit, if you go to conceptual mass environment in Rivet it will only take a couple of minutes to do so!

Who's name should I come across but an old teacher when I have a question!
