You mean you are going to cut your teeth in Revit by modeling this structure???

You know it's over 60 years old, don't you?  If I remember correctly, I believe the TV Show "Lost in Space" was the original inspiration for it. Groovy; huh?

I don't do Rhino, but I could model this structure in Revit. I'm just saying that it is quite an ambitious challenge for a beginner.

 

Here's a quickie that captures the essence of the LAX construct.  Arches were created by cutting the OOTB solid dome mass geometry ("Dome.rfa") with a bunch of void geometries.   Subtractive vs.Additive modeling.
