Rhino.Inside Revit allows you to streamline interoperability between Rhino/Grasshopper and Revit. Many professionals use Rhino for geometry and computational design, and Revit for building information modeling (BIM). Rhino.Inside Revit integrates Rhino‘s modeling and scripting capabilities directly within the Revit environment, bridging these two essential tools.
Rhino toolbar in Revit. Rhino.Inside Revit brings the Rhinoceros toolbar to Revit. The toolbar offers several commands, including access to help resources, starting Rhino and Grasshopper within Revit, running Python scripts, and managing real-time previews. It also includes options to recompute Grasshopper definitions, bake Rhino geometry into Revit, and run sample commands for development purposes.
Rhino.Inside Revit integration. Rhino.Inside Revit allows you to trigger Rhino and Grasshopper as a Revit plug-in, enabling the use of the Revit API directly within Grasshopper. It includes over 300 Revit-aware components in Grasshopper, facilitating the creation, modification, and analysis of Revit elements. It also supports Python and C# scripting for custom workflows, and integrates with Autodesk’s BIM360 through the BIM360 File Locker plugin for Rhino.
Rhino.Inside Revit plans. Rhino.Inside Revit is a free add-on developed by the creators of Rhino, but it requires valid licenses for both Rhino and Autodesk Revit. Grasshopper, which is not a standalone product, is fully integrated within Rhino, allowing advanced parametric design within Revit.
Summary. Rhino.Inside Revit is a tool developed to bridge the gap between Rhino and Revit, connecting the conceptual design phase with the developed design phase. By integrating Rhino and Grasshopper directly into the Autodesk Revit environment, users can leverage Rhino’s advanced 3D modeling and Grasshopper’s visual programming capabilities within Revit, ultimately enhancing design workflows.
Typical workflow
- Install Rhino.Inside Revit. Install the add-on, ensuring you have both Rhino and Revit installed. The Rhinoceros toolbar will appear under Add-ons in Revit.
- Load Rhino.Inside. Press the Rhinoceros button in Revit to load Rhino.Inside, which will activate the Rhinoceros toolbar, allowing you to run Rhino and Grasshopper within Revit.
- Access Rhino within Revit. Access and use Rhino, Grasshopper, Rhino.Python, and the Grasshopper Player directly within Revit.
