RHINO INSIDE REVIT - slabs from points/mesh

**Hi,
At the office we are using rhino inside revit for the development of our architectural projets (train stations, offices, housing ) but also some of our key urban design projects.
We are trying to create floors that are made through precise point elevations.
Such geometry can be achieved precisely in rhino with meshes.
Is there any way of creating floors in revit (through rhino geometry) with points setup as slab modification points ?

I am architect and in charge of digital tools development at the office, and have been using rhino since 10 years now. This option with floors would be a life saver and reason for our office to permanently start using rhino.

Thank you in advance for your answer.

it seems this does not work ? I tested it with a simple slap and 4 points. But it seems the script does apply those point on the slab.

It looks like they are on the flat surface. Can you move them up in Z?


still no result

I opened the files that are in that zip on the post, then added a floor in Revit 2021 and assigned it to the first input on the Gh script, added points that are inside the perimeter of the floor in plan view and assigned them to the second input on the Gh script, and here is what I see:

Check that your points are contained (in plan view) inside the floor’s sketch/perimeter. You may need to verify that you have the correct floor object (by viewing it in Rhino via Gh) to ensure this.

Edit: also why did you post this question in a relevant post, but then also asked a duplicate question in a new post?

(Update : script works in Meter unit ,thanks @devin_jernigan !!! :heart_eyes:)

Hi all ,
same question from landscape team , they need to create a floor with different point elevations, i have tried the script , may i know if i use it correctly ? (Rhino 8 , revit 2023)



Thanks anyone and the script creator !!

You can do this without scripting if you desire.

thanks @Japhy , although i have read the RIR guideline , i still not know well for the RIR component , it works perfect and helpful compared to traditional workflow , now i only need to focus on how to grab the point from cad :grin: , thanks!!

do we have any way to add spot elevation ?

i am not very clear about the reference input

thanks

Yes, you’ll need a valid (to the view) Revit Point

Hi @Japhy thanks your reply , i can do the spot following your script, but it only works in Site view, i am using Revit 2023 , rhino 8 ,
and i found there is some difference when i spot elevation one by one in 3D view

Are the differences the thickness of your System Family Type?

i try to create a simple ramp by floor , if i put 2 pts on corner , it shows they are outside


if i move them a little bit inside , the ramp looks not good


may i know any idea on create ramp by floor?

also , i try another curve to be ramp , it seems only that points generate the elevation .


thanks

The way revit creates this geometry when remaking native revit floors is not very effective when it comes to complex floors (similar to the surfaces we work on when designing public spaces and landscape).

After testing this on a real infrastructure/landscape project at the office, we reached the conclusion that our 3D production (for roadworks and any other landscape or public space feature) should be handled, completely, in rhino.

You can then send the geometry in revit (if necessary), as “dead geometry” using direct shapes. You can use that geometry for visualization and simple 2d documentation.

Using direct shapes is much more viable because it makes it simple to view and collaborate. I don’t think, recreating complex native floors in revit are worth the effort right now.

You can also check other exchange options like speckle, mks dtech beam, and also visualarq.

Good luck

Thanks for your reply. Since I’m new to RIR, I’m not sure if there’s a better way to achieve my target.

I’m studying alternative workflows from Rhino to Revit (in landscape/architecture) and need to meet three standards: editable, schedulable, and publishable. Therefore, I would like to explore how far RIR can go.

editability is a hard one with complex surfaces.
Everything depends on your level of detail i guess.

If you are trying to achieve highly detailed designs, with trustworthy dimensions in 3D, it’s gonna be hard to create non destructive workflows

There was a recent adjustment to the tolerances in this regard, please try the latest Rhino.inside.Revit & Rhino.

some elements are required to be some revit native elements, eg kerb to wall , some need to be floor ,so far , i found it is easy to do in RIR compared to traditional workflow
