Just playing around here. Using Rhino AI to create a Furniture schedule and then push that BIM information onto the blocks. So now it can be tracked.
I was also amazed how AI inferred the space usage of the spaces as it worked thru the problem.
What other BIM information could be managed with AI?
@scottd It would be nice if we can create grouped users text in Rhino like we have Revit Properties Panel. I have used the same user text approach to push the BIM Parameters back to Revit using Rhino AI along side RIR with some modifications. I was able to update the walls and floors without loosing or recreating any element.
Yes, I hear you on that. That would need to be something we have to think of a lot more about. Most of the discussions we have internally is asking what would we try to do with that. Trying to specify what we need to solve and how sophisticated they need to be.
Currently, we are tying to figure out how much information can be pushed in.
At this point there are a couple ways we recommend how to do this. So, it can be harvester in later processes.
In the model shown, this is the layer userdata I dropped in with the key RevitCat. Values for all 35 layers:
| Layer | RevitCat |
|---|---|
| Default | Generic Models |
| Site | Site |
| Site::Site | Topography |
| Site::Outside_Furniture | Furniture |
| Site::Outside_Furniture::Attributes | Furniture |
| Site::Outside_Furniture::Wood | Furniture |
| Site::Planting | Planting |
| Site::Planting::Attributes | Planting |
| Building | Generic Models |
| Building::Timber Componets | Structural Framing |
| Building::Interior Slabs | Floors |
| Building::Exterior Glazing | Curtain Panels |
| Building::Exterior Walls | Walls |
| Building::Structorual Frame | Structural Framing |
| Office - Lobby floor | Floors |
| Office - Lobby walls | Walls |
| Office - Seating | Furniture |
| Office - Core walls | Walls |
| Office - Stairs | Stairs |
| Office - Metal | Furniture |
| Office - Plan | Lines |
| Office - Egress plan | Lines |
| Office - Conference | Generic Models |
| Office - Cafe | Generic Models |
| Office - Interior furniture | Furniture |
| Office - Interior glass | Curtain Panels |
| F05 Adapted - partitions | Walls |
| F05 Adapted - source furniture | Furniture |
| F05 Adapted - room labels | Rooms |
| F05 Existing - section | Lines |
| F05 Adapted - 3D partitions | Walls |
| F05 Adapted - doors | Doors |
| F05 Review - cutaway | Generic Models |
| F05 Furniture - 3D | Furniture |
| Furniture Schedule | Generic Annotations |
Oh Nice I didn’t know that we have a group separator option. I think this is better as compared to layers. As RIR already Maps the Layers Based on the Categories and Subcategories.
Also interesting is how tolerant AI is to various schemas. It can work thru the data that is in the file and piece together what the schema is. It can infer quite a lot from the information that is in the file.
This is unlike standard programming that needs to know the schema a priori.
The separator is nothing official, but it is what the developers said works well as a separator in cases like this. Internally it is the same we use for sub-layers.
Thanks for the clarification.
Yes, I would actually like to make a RevitAgent.md that somehow could keep checking revit schema in Rhino to see if there were any problems. But I have not yet figured out how to add agents on this level yet.
Let’s go!
