Having trouble with Grevit? Check out our documentation or drop an issue at github and we’ll help you sorting it out.Update 2017: Added notice that the Mac version of Grasshopper is available (in WIP) Supported Applications Support or Contact Are you a happy Grevit user? Help developing on GitHub or donate so new features can be developed. Grevit saves you as professionals or students many hours but it requires some itself. If you want to keep non-profit projects like Grevit alive, support them. Many of my weekends went into building Grevit, answering support questions and implementing new features. A designer working in Grasshopper and another one working in SketchUp: both can send their geometries to one Revit instance using Grevit.Ĭheckout the SketchUp Plugin: watch this video to learn more Help the ones helping you!

This way you could run Revit or ACA on a different machine than the Design Model. Why is Grevit sending data through network? Grevit does not only create BIM elements from Rhino or SketchUp, it also allows you to update BIM elements later according to your latest design changes while all parameter values remain in place. But then, any design change is forcing you to repeat the process all over again. Redrawing geometry with native BIM elements often seems to be the only solution. Static geometries won't intersect with native elements and are difficult to enhance with parameters. Why not just exporting and importing?Įxporting static geometries is working fine from Rhino or SketchUp but when it comes to a BIM workflow exporting isn't enough.

Grevit is Free and Open Source and you can help to make it better: contribute on GitHub. Grevit supports a lot of BIM elements: like walls, beams, columns, simple components, adaptive components, even topography and many more. Don't worry if your design changes, Grevit can even update existing geometries. Grevit follows a one way process so your design model remains the geometrical source of truth: send geometry and attributes from Rhino/Grassopper or SketchUp to Autodesk Revit or ACA. Grevit allows you to define BIM Elements in Grasshopper or SketchUp and translate them directly to Autodesk Revit or AutoCad Architecture. What is Grevit? Build your BIM Model directly in Grasshopper.
