Rhinoceros in AEC

Use Rhino/Grasshopper to push your design skills further. A lot is going on. Here are many ways to improve your skills:

New AEC tools:

• Heatherwick Studios shows their use of real-time visualization in AR and VR including Twinmotion at the UK User Group meeting. For a limited time Twinmotion is now free for all Rhino 5 and 6 users.
• Two food4Rhino presentations on YouTube: Wind comfort simulation in Grasshopper and PedSim pedestrian simulation software for Grasshopper.
• Create real-time data dashboards for project stakeholders by using Semantic, Rhino, and Power BI together.
• Import terrain models from the web using the newest Lands Design for Rhino
• Edificius® BIM software from ACCA is now integrated with Rhino/Grasshopper®.
• Brendan Hasty reviews the five best software for structural analysis and design in 2020.
• Rhino-to-Revit Workflow continues to evolve:
• Conveyor shows Rhino 7 SubD shapes into Revit.
• BEAM is new. Assign parameters, create families, and move geometry from Rhino to Revit in a collaborative process.
• For those who want to run Grasshopper in Revit, try Rhino.Inside.Revit in our Rhino 7 Beta.

Webinars and workshops:

• LAVA Laboratory for Visionary Architecture is offering Parametric Design webinars in November.
• Learn how to prepare digital files for architectural scale models with Rhino. Instructor Olivia Morgan takes you through each step of the workflow from digital model to the fabrication of a scale model.
• Learn how to manage complex facade systems. Oliver Thomas, BIM specialist at BIG, teaches you how they are currently using Rhino.Inside on their latest projects to manage complex facade systems.

• The Simply Complex Podcast interviews Andrew Heumann on creating components for computational design in Grasshopper.
• Create Grasshopper adaptive blocks using Grasshopper and VisualARQ 2.0.
• How to prepare a structural analytical model in Grasshopper for SOFiSTiK.

Recent projects where Rhino and Grasshopper were used:

• The Portalen Pavilion by Summum Engineering is officially open in Norrköping, Sweden. Initiated and developed by Hyresbostäder i Norrköping AB, Public Art Agency Sweden, Norrköpings Konstmuseum.
• A new exhibit THE ARCHITECTURE MACHINE-The role on computers in architecture highlights conversations with leading architects and covers the role of Rhino and Grasshopper.
• LMN Architects has unveiled the Grand Avenue Park Bridge in Everett, Washington.
• Randselva bridge wins the Tekla Global BIM awards in 2020 using the Tekla Grasshopper direct connection.
