Used previously skript getting Revit elements to Rhino.Inside Revit. Old script does not work anymore and can’t find new skript anywhere. Old links to script won’t work. New in Grasshopper with entry level skills. Any idea where to get the GH script? Trying to get Escalators from Revit to Rhino.
To get an object from Revit to Rhino you can use a Graphical Element component, right click and select your Escalators, then add a Element Geometry component to extract the geometry. At any point in the process you can right click and bake to get the geometry to Rhino.
It’s also possible to export out a CAD file as a 3D DWG which will then import into Rhino as Polysurfaces.
The process @Rickson describes looks like this:
On the Geometry component, right-click and select bake.
This is a more extensive guide: https://www.rhino3d.com/inside/revit/beta/guides/revit-to-rhino
Does that help?
Thank you for your advices! When trying to follow extensive guide using script Sample_Revit_to_Rhino.gh I’ll get notification:
Will try new Rickson’s and Scott’s advice.
No luck. Getting notification saying: 1. Floating parameter Graphical Element failed to collect data. and 1. Input parameter Elements failed to collect data.
Did you right-click on the Graphic element and Pick one Revit element?
Right click did the magic - thank you for the advice
FYI I was able to right click and bake the geometry even though my geometry looked empty. The geometry then came through as rhino blocks for some reason. Maybe this has somethign to do with the fact that some of these elements have solid and voids?
Can you post an example?
One option for hard to get Element Geometry is the Element View Geometry component.
Okay will give it a try and post an example where the element widget doesn’t work.
Importing via the element / geometry works better with geometry without small details. Same issue I was having with the new component widget creating a new family.
