About this course
Throughout this comprehensive 5-part series, participants systematically delve into the intricate technical details of importing complex 3D parametric models from Rhino, fine-tuned in Grasshopper, into the detailed BIM world of Revit. You'll learn to transform these innovative computational designs into precise architectural drawings and comprehensive building documentation, covering everything from detailed plans and complex elevations to sophisticated sections and construction junctions while maintaining the design integrity of complex parametric forms.
This specialized workflow course revolutionizes your approach to integrating parametric design with comprehensive BIM documentation through sophisticated methods for transferring complex Rhino and Grasshopper designs into Revit's intelligent building environment. You'll master multiple integration approaches from simple reference imports through advanced cloud-based connectors that optimize collaboration across multidisciplinary teams.
The curriculum emphasizes practical implementation of workflow strategies that maintain design intent and geometric accuracy while leveraging Revit's comprehensive documentation and coordination capabilities. You'll develop expertise in managing complex building information across parametric design and traditional BIM environments, ensuring innovative geometric forms retain proper BIM properties and coordination capabilities.
Advanced integration techniques include Rhino Inside Revit implementation, Speckle connector workflows, and production documentation strategies that bridge the gap between computational design innovation and professional project delivery. The course covers both technical integration skills and strategic workflow optimization approaches that support efficient design-to-documentation pipelines.
These workflow skills are essential for contemporary architectural practice where parametric design capabilities must integrate seamlessly with BIM coordination requirements. The techniques learned apply to complex architectural projects that require both computational design innovation and comprehensive project documentation while maintaining coordination accuracy throughout the development process.

Syllabus
We systematically start the course with the most straightforward approach, importing your sophisticated Rhino geometry as a reference model into Revit. This workflow is perfect for situations when the building design is finalized and you want to utilize Revit's powerful drawing and sheet management capacity to export comprehensive drawings with your own professional title blocks, revision tracking, date management, and complete project documentation systems while maintaining the geometric complexity achieved through parametric design.
The second lesson and second workflow demonstrated in this comprehensive course brings geometry over from Rhino as if it were created within Revit from the beginning, maintaining full BIM functionality. This means that the building imports with complete BIM information slots and intelligent building components so that you can fully utilize the sophisticated BIM environment of Autodesk Revit including scheduling, coordination, and comprehensive building analysis capabilities while preserving complex parametric forms.
The third lesson systematically covers a very powerful topic, the contemporary world of cloud-based connectors that revolutionize inter-software collaboration. Connectors combine software via sophisticated cloud connections to seamlessly transfer data between applications in real-time. This lesson focuses on the market-leading connector application 'Speckle' which 'extracts and exchanges data in real time between the most popular AEC applications using our tailored connectors' while maintaining design intent and geometric accuracy throughout the collaborative process.
In this advanced lesson we systematically deploy a sophisticated plugin built by the creators of Rhino themselves, which effectively allows you to run Rhino & Grasshopper within Revit itself as integrated tools. Due to the advanced functionality of Grasshopper, a dynamic synchronization can be established between the geometry it creates and how it's produced and understood in Revit's BIM environment. This powerful plugin creates a new tab in the Revit ribbon interface and the geometry you see within Revit comes through as 'native' elements, meaning you can apply comprehensive BIM properties to everything you bring in.
In the final comprehensive lesson we systematically demonstrate our preferred professional workflow, showing how to efficiently jump between Rhino and Revit to make design changes and how we can deploy Revit's powerful production capability to produce comprehensive architectural drawings suitable for professional issue in real-world project delivery. This approach can also be strategically used to create high-quality PDF drawings for presentations, competitions, and other sophisticated graphical communication means that meet contemporary professional standards.
