Hello guys,
I’m wondering - is it possible to have anything like this Grasshopper driven Tekla component …
… available also for Revit, using Rhino.Inside.Revit?
Thank you for info.
Regards,
Pavel
The Short Answer is Yes, It is very doable with Rhino inside Revit + Grasshopper Player in Revit.
I’m not a structural engineer or a Tekla user, the only difference that Tekla seems to be invested in Grasshopper while Revit is not, fortunately, the good people at Mcneel did it,
Hi Tay,
thank you for your insight. I should have been more specific.
I see how to create custom components with user input using GH Player, but the video shows the possibility to further edit component “solution” even after “baking” into Tekla.
That’s the functionality I’m thinking about …

Yes , In Revit, you can “bake it” as a direct shape with a structural category, the model item will be visible for everyone who is in the model without the need to have Rhino inside installed, although no one will be able to edit it without Rhino inside or Grasshopper player.
Hi @Pavel2 ,
I would say the alternative in Rhino.Inside is Add Structural Beam component, under the Structure tab.
Once you “bake” it from Grasshopper to Revit, anyone else would be able to modify it in Revit, without the use of Revit.Inside.
Rhino.Inside.Tekla is a great implementation, primarily due to the API access of Tekla and Sebastian’s efforts.
Beam (MKS Dtech) is starting to do something similar with their Rhino.Inside.Revit work, where you will have a changeable dialog in Revit. In beta at the moment i believe.
There are limitations to the Revit API that prevent a workflow as integrated as Rhino.Inside.Tekla.
