" Has anyone checked out RhinoBIM? It has a GH plugin for analysis, but does not seem to have much parametrics. It also seems to be bundling VisualARQ in as part of the package. I don't think there are very well integrated at the…"

"Maybe it's not too late to add to this discussion. I posted a new topic which compares an Inventor model with a GH model, here: http://www.grasshopper3d.com/forum/topics/refactoring-parametricism"

"One way to to ensure independence and interoperability it to maintain the generative key design data separately. One way of doing this is in www.opengenerativedesign.com"

"A propas, a little question about that: there is a pissibility in Revit to link revit components (means -all details) to "mastermodel" made in other softwhare like sketch up or rhino. But it will be wonderful to invent something to connect…"

"For anyone to provide you with the most relevant feed back it would be helpful to understand the type of work you are wanting to do. If you are doing large stadiums or Hospital work I would recommend one approach. If you are doing residential or…"

Beyond BIM: transitioning from 3D Generative/Parametric design to the industry (2D?)

Hello All,I am in the processes of venturing into parametric generative design – I have little experience with this type of software specifically. I am out kicking tires forsoftware options…CATIA, DP ($$$ aside), GC, and Grasshopper. Arthur’s original question is very importantand the exact question (and hopefully answer) I was hoping to find on aforum. “How to take intelligent 3D parametric generative design models…See More
