Autodesk Revit Architecture

[#1]

Hi, I've tried saving my rhino model in .sat and .dwg (options saved as solids) but when imported into revit, I still get an error "Mass only contain mesh geometry" hence not able to create mass floors. Please help.

What do you want Revit to do with this 3D wireframe sketch

that you created in Rhino? What is your ultimate goal?

[#3]

you need to take route of exporting .sat file from Rhino, Import this into a family, Load and Place that family into a project.

Now you can create 'By Face' elements.

parveen, I would have to say that what you just posted is nearly

the most outrageous thing I've ever seen posted. lol

But still, I like this kind of thing because often times something

good comes out of a can of worms like that.

I don't have any .sat 3d drawings to try this out, but if it's actually

possible to put wall-by-face on something imported like that, I 

would fall on the floor laughing. 

First of all, if it WAS possible to do this, it would serve no purpose

that I know of.

I would like to hear from you what you think would be the value of

placing walls on an imported wireframe sketch.

I'll probably learn something out of this.

[#5]

sure, you'll learn something out of this and to make you learn I have to write few lines.

Keep patience, I am preparing a detailed reply for your knowledge.

and you don't need to fall on the floor laughing.

I want to create a complex shape via rhino eg a tower, and then import into revit to create floors and walls etc. But I can't do mass floors.

[#7]

Hi Parveen. I understand the method you proposed. But I can't create mass floors from a family? for example if i have a form of a tower 30m high. How do I create 10 floors? By Mass Floors right?

[#8]

Why don't you create it in Revit? Can you post an image of the tower? Maybe you don't need to import this from Rhino.

[#9]

Maybe. But that doesn't really solve the problem. I would like the option of being able to to work simultaneously on rhino and revit. I followed the video below but I still get the error and the person in the video doesn't. And I wonder why.

Thanks for sharing that video Joanna. You can certainly snap

Revit elements to simple imported forms like that, but for building

sketches, I agree with Alfredo, "build it in Revit". Use the sketch

for reference.
