Hello, First time posting but stuck on difficult situation. We are designing a complex roof using Rhino and Grasshopper, definetely beyond Revit's Massing capabilites. In the end we are using Revit for the CD'S so we need the roof to be imported into Revit. The issue I'm having is the only way i've found importing the rhino is making it a mass in a family which in turn does recieve section cuts and is impossible to manipulate. Is there an easier way to do this process? Importing the roof from rhino into revit, but then recreating the whole thing in Revit negates the purpose. HELP! andrew

If you need to change anything in that "Mass" you must do it in Rhino and not in Revit then you can apply roof by face.

Thanks for the response. I understand that. I was more curious on if I can import a model from Rhino into Revit as a mass and that it would recieve sections and appear "normal"? Rather than recreating it using apply by face because their are A LOT of faces with varied slope and thicknesses.

No, Rhino objects or CAD objects are "dumb" objects, you can "scale" them but they aren't Revit obj. that's why you cannot manipulate them like you do when you create a mass in Revit.

yeah it's not fair that you can't automatically
convert a pencil sketch into a virtual building
that's ready for real construction.. but if computers
could do that then they could take over the world..
revit sees DWG lines just like it sees lines in a
pencil sketch.. both kinds of lines are "dumb" lines
like Typhoon said..
the whole idea is to get a good VIEW of those lines
so you can build the thing in revit..
you can view those lines in the line drawing program
that created them- OR you can import them into
revit for viewing- via DWG..
just search out how to properly import a DWG
wireframe into a separate session of revit massing..

This post is old and I understand how Rhino imports into Revit in versions 2013 and earlier. Revit 2014 however has the new explode faction where 3D models can be manipulated in Revit. I do not have 2014 yet so I cannot test this myself. I was wondering if this new feature allows Rhino to Revit with smart objects?Thanks for you time.
