Being part of a Family, these objects could have their own set of drawings in addition to being part of the larger project drawings.

Developing Loadable Families with Subcategories works well for standalone elements in a model or elements that might be ordered or built by an independant fabricator.

DirectShapes may not the best for late project phases. The limited organization and speed make DirectShapes best for temporary drawing sets such as competitions and early design presentations.

Using DirectShapes can be quite fast and takes the least amount of organizing.

Each successive strategy increases the integration within a BIM model, but each strategy also takes a bit more planning. There are 3 main ways to classify and move Rhino geometry to Revit. The challenge is that not every Revit category is available for each method discussed here.

Determining the best categories and subcategories to use will allow the elements to be drawn and scheduled properly. Revit data model is based on a categorization system.

Determining which the final goal of the forms in Revit can improve the quality of the final Revit data structure and increase project efficiency.

It is important to note that the easiest and quickest way of moving geometry into Revit may not be the best method. allows Rhino shapes and forms to be encoded into, and categorized as Revit elements. In this guide we will take a look at how to send Rhino geometry to Autodesk Revit® using Grasshopper.
