OPTIMIZATION OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF STUDENT ARCHITECTURAL PROJECTS WITH HELP OF TECHNOLOGY RHINO.INSIDE®.REVIT

Abstract

Abstract. The purpose of this article is to study the feasibility of using the Rhino.Inside plugin while developing students’ architectural projects to optimize the interconnection of software taught at the National Academy of Fine Arts and Architecture. The methods of creating students’ architectural projects of various degree of complexity are considered in the article. In practice, Rhino.Inside.Revit provides a set of tools to bridge the gap between freeform modeling in Rhino and the BIM (Building Information Modeling) world, opening up the rich Grasshopper ecosystem to the Revit environment, as well as new workflows and design c apabilities. In this article, Revit is taken as an example of BIM modeling software; this approach is implemented using a pluginRhino.Inside®.Revit. The authors of the article suggest using the Grasshopper coding program because it is much more commonly used in the digital fabrication environment compared to Dynamo. The modeling process was developed in Grasshopper using a BIM scheme that was created in Revit, exported through Rhino.Inside®.Revit technology to the Rhino software environment. The scenario of designing and developing students’ architectural projects is also developed in the same environment. Thanks to this, command lines are generated instantly. In other words, technologyRhino.Inside®.Revit is a bridge that connects two applications, Rhino and Revit, that can work in the middle of each other's environment. Research methods. The research was based on the methods of summary and structured analysis, which made it possible to obtain the necessary primary information for systematizing the processes introduced in the article and emphasizing important aspects of the research. Research results. The above mentioned research means that they can exchange all available information, saving a lot of time and guaranteeing maximum accuracy when modeling from one environment to another and vice versa. By exporting and importing a model, no information is transferred, since the entire process is prepared in one environment. Conclusions. Combining the two programs Rhino and Revit will allow you to use all the advantages of both tools to obtain a multifunctional result. This will enable visualization of the model through a web browser, which will guarantee effective communication.
