Rhinoceros in AEC

Use Rhino/Grasshopper and Rhino.Inside.Revit to push your workflow further.

Do not miss all the applications Rhino and Grasshopper are now integrated with:

• Improved model sharing between Rhino and Revit using the updated Conveyor version 3.
• Rhino.Inside.Revit continues to evolve:
• Watch AK TII present how Rhino.Inside.Revit is used in their workflow.
• Update Components for Linked models allows geomtry to be used more effectively.
• Visible in view filter component is new. It selects elements in Revit based on a view.
• Twinmotion 2022.1 is available now! This release makes creating and sharing stunning Archviz and immersive experiences even easier. New features include:
  • Path Tracer rendering for higher quality images.
  • HDRI Skydome lighting.
  • Enhanced data import from Rhino.
  • Early Access to Twinmotion Cloud for everyone on computer, tablet, and smartphones.
  For more details, see the update notes.
• How to prepare a structural analytical model in Grasshopper for SOFiSTiK.
• Tekla and Rhino are also integrated with the Rhino.Inside.Tekla plugin.
• CadWork also supports Rhino.Inside.Cadwork for a CAD/CAM 3D for wood construction, framing and fabrication.

New plugins for Rhino and Grasshopper adding to the workflow:

• ArqiShap3D is a set of modelling and drafting tools for architecture workflows and is developed for Grasshopper.
• Chameleon.tools lets users automate the design process on an architectural and urban scale. It evaluates geometry in real-time to inform about indices and statistics of the project.
• Puma is a plugin for Rhino and Grasshopper. It provides a Rhino command and GH components that enable ESRI CityEngine within a Rhino scene.

Workshops and courses:

• The DesignMorphine Masters Y22/23 Degree is available. Scholarships deadline - February 15, 2022.
• Registration is open for The Design Modelling Symposium 2022 (Berlin, September 24-28), an event that aims to provide critical perspectives on current advances in computational methods in AEC.
• The Digital Building Design Mastère Spécialisé® is an executive master program providing attendees with a cross-disciplinary culture of computational design and comprehensive knowledge of cutting-edge technologies.
• Bridging Data Science and Architectural Practice is an article covering emergent applications of cloud computing in practice and academia.
• Master Course in Parametric Design Hybrid Edition Controlmad - 350 Hours Spring 2022. This master course is the chance to introduce you to the world of computational design, a state-of-the-art field for design, architecture, engineering, digital fabrication.
• ArchEatable is a university course that explores food and gourmet pastry art as a vehicle for teaching digital design and fabrication lessons in architecture.

Recent projects where Rhino and Grasshopper were used:

• If you watched Super Bowl LVI this year, take a look at the new SoFi Stadium, the innovative 70,000-seat stadium designed by HKS Architects.
• Heath May from HKS LINE discusses the SoFi project and using digital workflows to improve design to production.
• Walter P Moore discusses the seismic challenges and other structural challenges of this project.
• Zahner used many digital fabrication processes to fabricate the translucent ETFE membrane covering the stadium.
• Idaho Central Credit Union Arena is 120' clear-span timber/steel portal frame that allows for an optimal viewing experience while satisfying the architectural vision.
• Adolfo Nadal from ARCHIOLOGICS has been kind enough to share his recent project Open Sky/Oasiz. Design and construction were combined with the highest levels of precision based on virtual models adding true digital twins for construction.
• Adidas opened the doors of its most sustainable flagship store to date under the motto “Renew Berlin”. The store features the project bECOme., a 3D printed installation created by designer Arturo Tedeschi (@arturotedeschi) using more than 300 kg of recycled plastic.
