Subdivide the curve into 4-sided faces and modify the segments to create a 3D wireframe in the desired shape/.Create / Generate a closed planar curve that represents the footprint of the space frame.Create a Revit model and a 4-point Adaptive Component Family:.Plan of Actionīefore starting the process of creating a space frame, I am going to layout the general series of steps that will be taken to achieve this:

The Masterclass on Data Trees by David Rutten is particularly helpful for understanding the data structure that Grasshopper uses. If this is also the first time using Grasshopper, then I recommend reviewing these Grasshopper Tutorials and checking out the many instructional videos on YouTube. Once everything is installed and ready to go, the Guides and Samples should provide enough of a footing to begin working with Rhino.Inside Revit. If you haven’t used Rhino.Inside Revit before, it may be best to review the installation requirements and instructions. The tools that will be used are the following:

In this article, I will provide a step-by-step workflow for creating a space frame with complex geometry, using the tools available in Rhino 7, Grasshopper (GH), Rhino.Inside Revit (RiR), and Revit. Rhino.Inside Revit – Adaptive Component Workflow With the recent release of Rhino 7 (or Rhino 7 WIP) and the creation of the Revit add-on, Rhino.Inside Revit, it is easier than ever before to create BIM assemblies from complex geometries that can be scheduled and sectioned properly. Revit is a great tool for storing and managing a BIM project. Rhino is an amazing tool for modeling and rationalizing complex geometries.
