design or import complex geometry in revit

[gianni3d]

Hi guys I should import a geometry like to attach photo in revit to get prospetti plants etc.
geometry are sole walls and bodies scales designed with t-spline in rhino.
tried to import as dwg but I don't think it's the right method.. I read about the conceptual masses but I didn't get anything. .
I hope you can help me on a proper and detailed procedure ..
Thank you.

hi gianni, finally some screenshots
It's a bit of a bump but it's not impossible to make a revit. Anyway on twitter the other day I intercepted this
http://blog.rhino3d.com/2012/08/import-rhino-opennurbs-into-revit.htmlif you try to let me know

thanks tristan I try to see what it is.. cmq remains the fact as I read on the manual to import into conceptual masses and then it is possible to become solid type walls and floors.. but the manual stops here by adding more and justifies that it would take too much time and pages to stretch on the thing... that justification of the piffer... absurdity

 

[Tristan]

What manual are you talking about?
However it is true, you can use a mass to generate walls, floors, roofs and continuous façade systems and it is not so complicated. Is there a doubt? have you already tried to export from rhino in sat (acis) and upload it to a new conceptual mass?

on revit architecture 2012 essential.
cmq I had exported (acis) and opened a new conceptual mass. . but I practically didn't understand anything about how to move. .
amount and I keep these lines .. where I can read how to shape ste surfaces in real solids .. sorry my ignorance on these masses but until now I had not had need and therefore never faced the problem. .
if you have any tutorials or something.. .

It's a little old, but at least you get an idea.

procedure a little different.. Now in masses it cannot become solid mass, but must it be first loaded into the right model? the problem and that if you read it as a block and don't make me insert thickness on the individual faces... If I approach you create a box as if it was a block and I can't do anything.. will the problem be in exhortation or what else? the procedure should be simple from how illustrated in that videotutorial, but I'm wrong something.

in general online do so:
1. save the file in rhino format
2. create a new mass in revit
3. amounts the solid (eye at the units!)
4. save the mass and loads in the project
5. insert walls, floors and roofs

Try a little...

Thank you.
then if I carry in sat when amount in the model tells me that they are only mesh and cannot make it become sta geometry walls, floors etc. tried to export in dwg with surfaces like solids and mesh like mesh but the file becomes heavy and I can not import it revit packs me and stays so for hours....
how exactly
I'm sorry for the questions that might sound like idiots, but I can't physically get out of it.

I recommend trying the import in revit, with a small part of the rhino file, in order to verify:
- the proper functioning of the import procedure in revit;
- the possibility, once imported in revit, to be able to apply to the model walls, floors, etc...
if everything works, evaluate the possibility to break the rhino file in multiple parts before proceeding to import into revit
