Create Rooms From CAD Drawing

This is really easy but useful script! “BIMifying” CAD drawings is a common practice in the industry. In this video, I created a quick script that creates Rooms from CAD blocks with attributes such as its name, number and finishes. Great exercise for beginners! Take a look👀! #callout { background: #b3b3b33f; padding: 1.5em 1.25em; border-radius: 3px; display: flex; flex-direction: row; margin-bottom: 20px; } #callout-inner { margin-left: 1em; } @media (max-width: 767px) { #callout { padding: 1....

Create Family Types From Excel

In this video, I’ll create new family types from Excel data using Grasshopper. By default, Revit’s API doesn’t allow creation of new types, so I will duplicate existing types and rename them. Once that’s done, I will update its parameters using the Excel data. Let’s go✅! #callout { background: #b3b3b33f; padding: 1.5em 1.25em; border-radius: 3px; display: flex; flex-direction: row; margin-bottom: 20px; } #callout-inner { margin-left: 1em; } @media (max-width: 767px) { #callout { padding: 1....

Create Sheets from Excel

This is a classic one! You’ve probably come across some version of this tutorial if you made any search about Dynamo. Let me show you how you can do it in Grasshopper🦗. In this video, I created a pretty basic script. This script reads sheet data (sheet number, sheet name, etc…) from Excel then creates new sheets in Revit using this data. After the sheets have been created, the script updates specific sheet parameters using the Excel data....

Check Fire Rating of Doors and Walls

🔥Checking Fire Rating of Doors and Walls🔥 In this tutorial I compared fire rating values of doors and their host walls. Then filtered doors that doesn’t have the same value as their host element. This was fairly simple example to demonstrate how to filter Revit data in Grasshopper. #callout { background: #b3b3b33f; padding: 1.5em 1.25em; border-radius: 3px; display: flex; flex-direction: row; margin-bottom: 20px; } #callout-inner { margin-left: 1em; } @media (max-width: 767px) { #callout { padding: 1....

Project Objects to Topography

Hello everyone👋, The topic of this tutorial is the projection of components into given topography. This is a task that can be easily automated with a simple script. Otherwise, manual placement of each object into a slanted surface would take a lot of time and kill your joy of life :). With this grasshopper script, we will get the location point of objects from Revit, project this point into Topography and use projected points as the new location point for tree families....

Random Distribution on Topography

Hello everyone👋, I created a tutorial on placing objects randomly on a topography using Grasshopper inside Revit and created a forest model as an example case. The tree🌳 family I’ve used is actually created by Gavin Crump. I gave him credit in the video as well😊. Please comment the topics you would like to see more content about. This tutorial is a great example to show how integrated Grasshopper and Revit are....

Visualizing Room Data in Power Bi

Understanding and visualizing building data is essential to any data-driven workflow and being Speckle a data platform, it follows quite naturally that you might want to analyze streams and commits coming from it. And thats what we are going to do in this tutorial. I am going to show you how you can visualize Revit Room data in Power BI using Speckle connectors. Let’s get started!🏃‍♂️ Prefer watching than reading? Here’s a video too!...

Revit Elements to Rhino Using Speckle

In this tutorial, we’ll send some Revit elements to Rhino and the geometry in Rhino will contain selected Revit parameters. This workflow contains a lot of use cases but I will create a really simple script that will color Revit elements by their properties, just to demonstrate the structure of the data that comes from Speckle and how we can use it in the workflow. Let’s get started!🏃‍♂️ Prefer watching than reading?...
