Revit to Rhino

[Rhayes]

Can you import a Revit Model into Rhino and work with it.???

[manimani]

Yes you can,

here is how it goes in Revit:

 

go to File>Export>CAD Formats

in the menu select your file type : AutoCAD 2007 DWG Files ,

Name your file : filename.DWG

Click on options :

• Layers and Properties: customize your Layer settings if needed (i recommend keeping the default)
  
• Linetype scaling: Leave default
  
• Coordinate system basis: Leave default
  
• One DWG unit is : Choose the right units for your project
  
• Solids (3D views only): Export as ACIS solid

click ok, save the file .

 

Go to Rhino open yourfile.DWG

all your the blocks such as window mullions, door frames, etc. will be saved as blocks. Materials and layers will be organized by name in layers (3D-Layer)
