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.

1. Be sure to start Excel and open the same file before running Rhino-Grasshopper.

2. Are you using Excel 2010?

3. Try opening Excel as administrator.

Comment by Mario Guttman on July 30, 2012 at 5:30pm: Modified the "WhiteFeet.RevitModelBuilderUtility.dll" file to default to 8 decimal spaces. We could add a setting for this. any interest?

Comment by Mario Guttman on July 27, 2012 at 3:54pm: Updated files "WfRevitModelBuilder" (Revit2012),

Comment by Mario Guttman on July 24, 2012 at 9:42am: CongChien: Everything in Revit is represented internally in decimal feet. We do not make any conversions in the core Hummingbird tools. You need to make the conversions yourself, either in Grasshopper or in Excel.

Comment by CongChien on July 23, 2012 at 7:54pm: Hello all

I want to convert units from (1 mm) Rhino = (1 mm) Revit how to do?
Example: As shown, the (1 mm) Rhino = (609.6mm) Revit
Thanks very much for your help

Comment by Mario Guttman on July 22, 2012 at 4:42pm: Updated files "WfRevitModelBuilder" (Revit 2012), "WhiteFeet.RevitModelBuilder (Revit 2013), "WhiteFeet.RevitModelBuilderUtility" (Rhino-GH-Hummingbird) today. Various small fixes.
