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.

Comment by Sharif Rahimian on July 12, 2012 at 11:19am: Hi First1;

It works for me both on Rhino 4 and Rhino 5.0 WIP. Did you follow my last comment? Make sure that excel file also has write permission for the user.

Thanks

I found that components can be worked in rhino 4 , but when i path excel files,there is no data collected in Excel File from GH.Do you know why?

Hi;

Well, after trying different things, finally I found out that Unblocking really didn’t unblock the file, unless you change the permission on security tab for each file to full access for the user. Here what You need to do for all downloaded files including example files:

Close Rhino and Grasshopper
Right click on each file and select Property
Before unblocking the file, go to the security tab and select the Users Group from top portion
check the permissions for this group at bottom portion, if the permission is read only, then click on edit button and change the permission to full control
Go to general tab and click on Unblock button, then press OK.
Run rhino and grasshopper and open the example file and you should not have any error.
