Rhino To Revit Roof

These elements will be hosted to the rhino geometry.

Rhino to revit roof.

Exporting elements from rhino so you can import useful shapes into revit. See hd version of video tutorial here. 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 will set the view so you can see the rest of the transfers.

Bringing across the model. Rhino office 3dm rhino model containing the source building model. Creating a revit directshape roof. This will activate and import the roof geometry on a layer in rhino called roof.

This sample shows how to take normal rhino breps curves and points into revit. Of course with a little more work that roof could be a roof from boundary and create a roof system family. Rhino to revit rvt revit model for the sample. By enabling the directshape component in the grasshopper canvas grasshopper will then create a roof based on the lofted surface from grasshopper.

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. 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. In this case rhino is not used as an intermediary. There are a lot of ways to bring in the rhino geometry but in this case we will.

Click on the zoom extents icon in rhino to find the roof geometry. The surface is then used to create a roof in revit.
