Wall Openings Are Quite Confusing

[Michael47 (Michael)]

Ok, I feel like I cannot be the first person to have this issue. Basically, I made a floor plan in rhino, used grasshopper and Rhino.Inside.Revit, to turn that floor plan into extruded walls. Generally, this worked out well. Now, I want to punch some openings in my walls. I have tried the “Add Wall Opening” and it works, but there is one major issue… It punches through every wall within its extrusion path. Not sure where to from here, as I am very new to Rhino.Inside.Revit.

My existential Crisis:

My intentions were to experiment to see if maybe I could model my whole project in rhino, and then have it modeled in revit at the same time. My brain is trying to wrap my head around why I wouldn’t just start in revit from the beginning if the bridge between Rhino and Revit is just not that great. Ideally I only ever use Rhino for forever and ever, but my job of course requires Revit. Just hoping there was some compromise I suppose?

Thank you in advance!

Hi Michael,

Your screenshot, you’re putting all the walls into the wall opening component (GH wire thickness/pattern denotes single, multiple or grafted objects)

The most practical uses of these workflows are in large projects or highly repeated processes.

Looking at your design, there is no reason to model this in Rhino at all. Revit’s basic features can handle a design like this with ease, and it will save you a translation step. Rhino’s strength is for more unconventional forms and possibly intricate geometric forms using Grasshopper.

Yes I suppose that was the answer that I feared. I really just wish there were a BIM software that was basically rhino. Thank you.
