Wh t i RhiWhat is Rhino:

Rhinoceros®, accurate freeform modeling for Windows.

…Rhino can create, edit, analyze, document, render, animate, and translate NURBS curves, surfaces, and solids with no limits on complexity, degree, or size. Rhino also supports polygon meshes and point clouds Rhino offers:Rhino also supports polygon meshes and point clouds. Rhino offers:

Uninhibited free-form 3-D modeling. Tools like those found only in products costing 20 to 50 times more. Accurately model any shape you can imagine…

Wh t RhiWhen to use Rhino:

• Families, Projects: for geometry that is too complex to be modeled efficiently in Revit• Families, Projects: for geometry that is not to be parameterized but a static

representation of an object• Projects: Mass Objects

P j t d F ili h NURBS f d i bl h• Projects and Families: wherever NURBS surfaces are desirable, such as: • Projects: Tensile structures, membrane structures• Families: Textiles and upholstery, curtains, etc. mainly for visualization purposes.

Wh t t RhiWhen not to use Rhino:

• For any object that can be modeled in Revit• For objects where live object data are a critical deliverable for the integrity of the

Building Information Model

C iti llCritically assess:

• Do we need the this level of geometry in the Building Information Model?D thi t d t b i t t?• Does this geometry need to be persistent?

• Can we use placeholders?• Will this geometry actually exist in the context of the real structure

T k it it tTo make it up it or not:

Some geometry (currently) cannot be represented in Revit:

Pure surface geometry mainly used for• Tensile structures• Textile surfaces• Tents,…
