Grasshopper
Hummingbird
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.
doors import problem
I just can't import doors into Revit 2015. I have ~700 doors that I want to add to Revit walls. 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.

Atis, unfortunately this is a limitation on the Revit side of Hummingbird. You cannot place families that are "hosted" (a door is hosted in a wall.) You could create some doors that were not hosted but that wouldn't be very useful in Revit. The only workaround I can suggest is to place some sort of dummy families to get the locations and then manually place the doors by snapping to their insertion points. Sorry it's not a better answer. I'll think about adding the functionality but it will be fairly complicated to do so. Mario
