In lab practise: Exploring 3d compositions in Rhino Assignment instructions

We were required to experiment with the new software Rhino and try out how to do different 3d shapes and begin to grasp its concept and basic tools. Challenges and how I overcome it

I attended the office hours on that day and the teaching assistant helped me with my struggle with the Boolean command especially the Boolean difference as I did not know how to do it. She helped me to understand the command through a YouTube tutorial.

Notes in class

Final Project Reflection Paper (figure 1)

Final project: Musicverse

26/5/2022

The final project was composed of many phases that complete each other, but being exposed to the process of interoperability between Revit and rhino put me under a lot of challenges and it urged me to think out of the box to solve these problems. My main challenge was the conversion from rhino to revit as my model is fully curved with different complex shapes so it was impossible to convert it as a whole group so it resulted dividing each building into parts and giving each part a layer to export each layer separately to revit . (figure 1) It was very time consuming yet the only method to granted my model to be extracted perfectly with walls, floors, roofs and curtain system. After converting everything I found out that the levels are completely far from the the model and very small relative to it so I had to go back to rhino to rescaling it and redoing the whole conversion thing from the beginning. After the conversions, I created a basement, auditorium that was completely created on revit, tried to add some components but it was not metaversy at all so I had to create my own interior elements by using curved interior walls, curtain walls, and doing half spherical shape on rhino and identifying it on revit fig 2,3,4 fig 2

fig 3

fig 4 51

At first all masses did not appear neither in 3D nor in the elevations, so I went to the handouts in the drive and I found that I had to change something in the settings in order for it to appear. fig 5,6,7,8 fig 5

fig 6

fig 7

fig 8

Then when I started to import the masses I couldn’t find the levels as they were too fig9 small, so I had to rescale the building from the beginning so I can put floors. I could import thee whole project at once so I had to divide each building into approximately 8 parts, I ended up with 43 masses with the entrance and the bridges.

fig10

BUILDING1:

The building did not want to be identified as wall at once so I divided it into the body and pipes. For some reason the pipes did not want to be identified in any way on my laptop neither curtain system neither walls so I had to do it on lab’s computer then I searched how to import the identified mass and I followed this tutorial Revit - Import Revit project file into another Revit project file and explode it the EASY way! - YouTube Regarding the body I divided it into two and identified each part by wall by face. fig 9,10

BUILDING2:

Regarding the second building, is divided into many parts such as fig 11

is identified by walls and fig 12

fig 13

This message appeared when I tried to identify when I tried to identify this part as walls by face even though that I divided the building into many parts,so I thought of identifying it as ‘’curtain wall’’ but it also failed and this message appeared fig14 fig 14

so I tried to identify it as ‘’curtain system’’ and it finally got identified. Exporting pipes surprisingly failed so I had to create mullions on revit from Architecture- mullions on revit by selecting on each line on revit. It was time consuming but to show my building in its best way fig 15.

fig 15 53

BUILDING 3:

Both Both after being divided into many parts were identified by wall by face fig 16,17 BRIDGES AND ENTERANCE:

Rejecting it as a mass so I had to go back to rhino,extract the surface,change the bridges shape making it less curvy, decrease editing points so It can get identified on revit by roof by face fig 18. BASE AND PLAZA (LEARNING NEW TOOL):

For plaza I learned a new tool, for the plaza it had a curved opening in the middle for the plaza, and I tried everything literally, wall by face, roof by face, floor by face, but it ended up learning a new tool to draw the design of floor on revit including the curves (whole of the plaza) ’’using pickline’’ fig 19 CREATING THE AUDOTORIM (LEARNING NEW TOOL):

fig 16

fig 17

fig 18 fig 19

fig 20

Through generic model, I followed this youtube tutorial to be able to create the auditorium on revit Ellipse Stadium Seating in Revit Tutorial - YouTube fig 20 CONCLUSION:

Interoperability is definitely a challenging, confusing and time confusing task that can never be taught without going through the process itself but it will get easier by understanding the following LEARNED LESSONS:

The more simple, less curved, smaller the object is, will easier be exported It is trial an error process
