Rhino.Inside - Design To Production Workflow

Learn how to use Rhino.Inside, a real game-changer that makes the transfer of information between Rhinoceros 3D and Autodesk Revit quick, easy and intuitive.

What you'll learn
Description
In collaboration with Why take this course?
In this course, Oliver Thomas teaches you how to streamline the
workflow from design to production using Rhino.Inside. Oliver is a
veteran BIM computational design specialist working at BIG. He is in
a unique position where he works with multiple teams to implement
BIM strategies and workflows using the latest computational design
tools. After testing Rhino Inside at BIG and being impressed with
the potential it offers, it was quickly rolled out as a core
strategy for future projects. Start learning Rhino.Inside today,
upgrade your skills and learn from the best!
Learn why Rhino.Inside is a game-changer for interoperability
Rhino.Inside makes the transfer of information between Rhinoceros 3D
and Autodesk Revit quick, easy and intuitive, it is a real
game-changer. It is an open-source project which allows you to run
Rhino and Grasshopper within other programs such as Revit. It takes
literally a push of a button to get your geometry into Revit from
Rhino and vice versa. The power of Rhino.Inside is its simplicity,
it doesn’t take a computational design expert to master it.
Improving your Interoperability Skills with Rhino.Inside will bring
significant improvements in efficiency across your projects having a
major impact on your organization.

The Grove at Grand Bay as case study
This project is a great example where computational design tools
such as Rhino.Inside are very beneficial to quickly move
information between Revit and Rhino. You start in Rhino and
Grasshopper and set up a definition to parametrically control
the shape and size of the towers. You’ll learn what parts of the
project are useful to parametrically control and what parts are
better left to model by hand.

Interoperability workflow used by BIG
In the first lessons, Oliver explains the workflows and
strategies used by BIG to set up a project. After explaining the
requirements and install procedures, he explains the interface
and some basic functions to get you started modeling geometry
directly in Revit through Grasshopper and Rhino.Inside.

Transfer information from Rhino to Revit
When the basic shapes are modeled you move to Revit. In Revit,
you continue with transferring all the geometry using Rhino.Inside to native Revit geometry like floors and walls. You also
complement the imported geometry by modeling extra walls and
learn the strengths and weaknesses of explicit and parametric
modeling.

Geometry back to Rhino from Revit
Sometimes for visualization purposes, Revit models have to be
transferred back into Rhino. With just a few steps, very
detailed building elements, like curtain walls, are seamlessly
transferred back into Rhino with a click of a button. This
reduces the time modeling details in Rhino and your focus can be
on getting the render settings just right.
