Hummingbird

Information

Hummingbird is a set of Grasshopper components that facilitate the creation of Revit native geometry. This process exports basic geometric properties and parameter data to CSV text files which is used to describe many aspects of the Revit BIM geometry. In Revit this data is easily imported using the Whitefeet Modelbuilder tool (included).

Translating Rhino primative geometry to Revit has been vastly simplified without the need for linking or reference objects. This allows for the downstream Revit model to be modified and adapted for the project duration.

Walls imported fine, but when importing doors, it just creates nothing. I have tried latest December version with no results. Family like table imports fine in same places where doors should be.

Are you guys gonna make an installer for Revit 2015 anytime soon? :)

Thanks Rasmus

Comment by Darren Chang on September 11, 2013 at 11:50am: Hi, after I updated, the Hummingbird components in my GH have the following error: 1. Solution exception:Could not load type 'WhiteFeet.HummingbirdUtility.CsvWriter' from assembly 'WhiteFeet.HummingbirdUtility, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null".

My GH is up-to-date version 9.00056. All the components are unblocked. My previous version of Hummingbird worked just fine.

Does anyone know what I did wrong?

Comment by Carrey on April 23, 2013 at 9:15pm: How should i change the default unit feet to meter or millimetter?

Comment by Advait on April 16, 2013 at 3:45am: hi, I am unable to download hummingbird from link given above can anyone provide me the software?

Comment by Darren Chang on March 8, 2013 at 2:25pm: I'm trying to convert a curve from Rhino to REVIT using the Lines Component. It gave me an error message like below in REVIT. Does a curve must be in a horizontal plane in order to be converted using Hummingbird? I also tried to convert the subdividing points of the curve as Ref Points, but the error message first told me it must be in a Family Editor, and then told me it can't be converted in the given context, while I was in Family Editor. This is also very confusing.

Comment by first1 on February 27, 2013 at 6:37pm: Hey Darren Chang ，all the model data divide by 304.8 ,it can convert FEET to MILLIMETTER.

Comment by Tim Meador on February 27, 2013 at 3:11pm: Hi Darren,

Unfortunately the Revit api is based on feet so we are stuck doing everything in imperial units.
