Building Information Modelling (BIM) entails interdependencies between technological, process and organisational/cultural aspects. These mutual dependencies have created a BIM ecosystem in which BIM related products form a complex network of interactions.¹ For a long time interoperability between these products has been essentially non-existent, resulting in users unwilling to interchange between different software platforms. Rather than using the best product for the job, users have preferred to remain in the software that they are most familiar with, possibly to the detriment of the design. One such example of this is conceptual massing within Autodesk Revit. This post explores how to extend Revit’s modelling capabilities by combining it with McNeel’s Rhinoceros and Dynamo.
It is important to emphasise that BIM is an ecosystem and that there is no single software that can do everything. Within the graphic design industry, Adobe has recognised this and have produced a…
