Hummingbird

Information

Hummingbird is a set of Grasshopper components that facilitate the creation of Revit native geometry. This process utilizes a simplied pseudo-language in Excel to describe many properties of the Revit BIM geometry. 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 Tim Meador on July 16, 2012 at 11:26pm: Armando, is the excel file open prior to recalculating the grasshopper component? if the excel file is not open it will flash in excel for a second and then close.

Comment by Armando Montejano on July 16, 2012 at 9:25pm: Mario,

Everything seems to work good, except for the data in Excel, all the files have "full control" permits, and are unblocked, actually when I connect the path, if I have open the excel file, it blinks in the task bar, so there are some recognition of activity between GH and Excel but no data.

Comment by Mario Guttman on July 16, 2012 at 5:57pm: Armondo: Can you be a little more specific. Is the Grasshopper component working? Are you getting a messgage from the "out" connection? Mario

Comment by Armando Montejano on July 16, 2012 at 4:19pm: Hello,

Have the same problem, no data collected in Excel, re download everything, check permissions, all are set to full control, and unlock each file. Nothing. Any other idea?

Comment by first1 on July 13, 2012 at 12:01am: Thanks Sharif, Thanks Tim. It worked .

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

Comment by first1 on July 12, 2012 at 12:36am: Hi Sharif,

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.
