Grevit

Grevit allows you to create Revit or AutoCad Architecture BIM elements
directly in Grasshopper and send them to your favorite BIM program.

    got a feedback that the current implementation supports a maximum of 22800 components per transaction (thanks to Luke).

    Really useful!

    Thanks!

    Dear Grevit Users,

    thank you for all the great input i received via mail. i've been on vacation the last weeks, that's why there hasn't been any new release. The next release will support surfaces as an input for most of the elements and also a Family/Type loader to make it easier to select correct family names. And then moving the project Open Source because there are many great feature requests I cannot handle with my limited amout of time.

    regards, Max

    Dear Grevit users,

    the latest version automatically creates IDs for Grevit objects, the update mode is turned on by default and the Grevit client in Revit/ACA closes automatically after receiving data.

    Enjoy

    A transaction or sub-transaction was opened but not closed. All changes to the active document made by External Command will be discarded.

    I am having similar issues. Is it a port or IP issue that could be causing this. See included screenshots for error message.

  • maximilian thumfart

    Dear CPA,

    thank you for your feedback, the issue is caused by the SortCurves method in Revit so it might be an issue of unsupported geometries in the outline of a slab or sth similiar you are trying to send. please send me your gh file to support AT grevit DOT net.

    Thank you

    I use grevit's file [Grevit Example 06].

    I use the Chinese version of revit now,but The same error

    seems there are not many questions or things to discuss? Well one thing about the Vasari Plugin: Vasari still seems to be quite unstable and the API doesn't support many things. I'm stillw aiting for updates from Autodesk - so far nothing happens.

    Metric for Grevit.

    Hello, how to get grevit to work for the metric system. I am outside of USA and everything is metric here. Should I scale everything I do in Grasshopper before sending to Revit?

    Thanks
  • maximilian thumfart

    Hi,

    you have to scale geometry or values before you send them (*3.28 or sth.). I am not handling it internally yet.

    regards

  • ancientholiday

    Is metric conversion something I can add internally when the project becomes open source?

  • maximilian thumfart

    Of course, and a lot more. I am currently documenting the code.

    Hi Max, 

    I am having some issues when transferring adaptive components points into revit. 

    It gives me an error for every component. 

    Can't make type "FIN 4 point_acr02 : A1".

    This is after setting the family name (FIN 4 point_acr02) and the type name (A1) I want to add. 

    I have tried creating the types on the Revit family before importing, but the result is the same. 

    Any ideas?

    Thanks,

    Albert

    Can Grevit control any Revit Curtain Wall Compnents such as "Top Constraint" and Vertical Mullion Offset?
  • yj

    I have had some success with Grevit. I really like the plug in. What I like about it is that unlike Hummingbird, Which I also like (but unfortunately stopped developing) Grevit elements transfer ALL at once so it is easy to undo the tranfer. Great job. Floors work so well everytime. by the way I didnt quite get how room component works- how come there not no xyz input? and how is it possible to transfer all the rooms on different levels when in revit its only possible to insert rooms on each level from the plan views?

    Thanks, Grevit

    Hi I i need to solve a problem trying to export from rhino to revit with grevit. I have a parametric facade and i need to export to revit. When grevit connects to revit it fail and said this:

    "Revit could not complete the external command. Contact the provider for assistance. Information they provided to revit about their identity: MTT"

  • ancientholiday

    Hello,

    has anyone been able to set curtain wall panels into Curtain Walls using Grevit?

    Thanks

  • Jason Smith

    Sort of, ancient holiday. Not curtain wall panels per se, but using adaptive components you can do what you're aiming for. Alternatively, as ACs aren't always a good thing, I've had recent success exporting the glass as a wall (or other 3D object) and using Lyrebird to place each mullion as a family. Happy to share more if this sounds appealing.

    Good luck!

  • Ezhil Vignesh

    I have 3d curves and want to export to Revit.

    I have a problem to export via Model line component. Can any one explain how model line works.

  • ancientholiday

    Hello,

    I have a recollection that Grevit was an open source project.  Is it possible to download the Grevit libraries on GitHub?

  • Rasmus Holst

    Hi team Grevit.

    Just want to say - Great work :) This is really exiting, one of the most seamless transfers I have tried. 

    Once the "update" function works complete it will be very nice.

    Have you been thinking about adding transfer the other way as well? E.g. transfer data about Revit elements to Grasshopper?

    Best regards.

    Rasmus

  • Djmonster

    I have tried example 3&6 you shared. but i keep on getting these errors

    A transaction or sub-transaction was opened but not closed. All changes to the active document made by External Command will be discarded.

    Can u tell me why this  is happening? (Revit 2015,Rhino 5, GH 0.9)

  • Jerrod Kennard

    I agree with Rasmus. Great work to address interoperability between GH & Revit but the Update feature not working is a huge achilles heal, especially if you have tags and dims attached to those elements in Revit. Has there been any development to fix this problem?

    Thanks.

  • Gui Talarico

    Hi maximilian, have you stopped development?

    If so, do you have any plans to release the code so that others can continue developing it?

    Works great, except update feature. Do you think you could help me? I 'read your comments on Food for Rhino on shared GID parameter, but I could still not get it to work.

    Cheers, and thanks for sharing your work.
