Hello all. Grateful for the wealth of knowledge here and excited to learn. However I’m feeling overwhelmed by tools never used before and not well understood. Though it will make more sense with time and trial, my boss needs some instant gratification just to see something, anything show up in Revi…

Hi Japhy. Rhino 7 at the moment, and Revit 2024. We’re a metal cladding company that does custom paneling for large commercial buildings. Our typical workflow has been to laser scan the site and model the panel system over the point cloud in Rhino. Once modeled, we’ve been exporting 2D geometry to…

Absolutely, Japhy. Funny you mention that… I’ve been introducing Rhino (and 3D scanning) to panel companies around the country for the past 20 years or so. Worked for many, some of whom you may be referring to. Rhino’s been a fantastic tool for panel work and solving crazy geometry on the fly. The b…

Another aspect of this is the intent of the Revit documents. Are these for the Shop, Submittal drawings, Field Instructions, BIM Coordination… or all of the above? With good data management all is possible, but we should look at these independently at first. A low level example that might be helpf…

I am going through your tutorial video now of the Direct Shape schedule (amazing by the way!) I’m aware of the awesome capabilities this opens up. Hopefully I can just get something to show up in Revit today and build on that knowledge from there. Baby steps. I’ve attached the test model I’m using, …

Doing the single surfaces is the way to go, along with understanding the UV direction (which looks like you do) A big part is going to be adding the user texts for sorting, naming, clip types etc. This way you can find identify the panels groups and one offs. [image]

[image] Japhy: Starting out i would stay away from doing dimensioning via RiR Perhaps I misunderstood something… if the model shows up in Revit can it not be dimensioned on a sheet like other Revit models? I can use “import” and dimension it but then Revit lacks the ability to update if the l…

[image] Brian Jackson: To be clear, dimensions would all be placed manually on Revit sheet… not expecting GH or RIR to automate any of that. Perfect, dimensioning is possible in RiR but needs to be well thought out. A quick manual dim is going to work just fine.

There is a lot and getting focused on your particular requirements is critical (getting the job done with minimal GH/Rhino/Revit learning)

Lets start with the basics.

What version of Rhino are you using, along with the Revit Version?

What workflows are you looking accomplish? the more specific the better. Thanks
