Revit 3d Blocks Free Download

[Andreas Mbili]

Elefrontis a real goldmine in this process. I use it for a lot of things. I need to post a tutorial or two in the Elefront Forum that uses Rhino.Inside.Revit and Elefront together. This is work I been experimenting with in just the last few weeks. I have both a basic demonstration and a more sophisticated workflow as examples. I am sure @krahimzadeh will have something to say about all this too.

Hi Scott,

I have another question

why there are a location gap after translation although the both models are on the same unit and blocks are not scaled ?

All the geometry of the block definition is extracted and placed in a Component Family. The block definition is always located at the 0,0,0 Origin. In this case the layer names are cub categories in Revit.

I followed this tutorial and Grasshopper script to export Revit model to Rhino WIP.

-revit-to-rhino

However, all family objects are exploded into individual pieces in Rhino. Is there a way to keep each family as a block?

The are a number of pluggins that help with block creation. But Revit Family/Types do not map to true blocks. Family/Types are probably reflected by VisualArq Styles. Since in Revit, Families can very in Types from instance to instance.

A pattern I see a lot more is the idea that there is one place that the data and geometry is stored. And this location can change per design or even per phase of a project. For instance Rhino might be the driver for floors early in the project and populate Revit in realtime. And later, as the project matures, perhaps the floors now live in Revit and inform Rhino of their shape.

Not sure if I understand, are you explaining a way to export from Rhino? I was looking a simple way to export from Revit to Rhino.Inside.Revit.

I used Grasshopper file from -revit-to-rhino.

But for some reason, a few elements from Revit are not being exported to Rhino.Inside.Revit.

We recently used an automated DirectShape based workflow to deliver a tender but are interested in rolling out rhino.inside deeper into the project phase, firmwide. Very interested in hearing your thoughts.

There are so many different workflows that are possible that I do not think we know what best practice is yet. It will take the experimenting of all of us and many others to determine what works best.

Are there specific problems you are having with Rhino or Revit right now that you might want solved? Perhaps we can see what is possible to solve? Sometimes we can quickly prototype up new components for you to try as we discover the solutions to your issues.

Blockreplace won't usually work because the blocks would dissappear from where they were and end up somewhere else. You would need a custom command that moves the block reference back to where it ends up. I create such a command for one project but even with the command, it was mostly a waste of time.

tanto la version gratuita como la premiun valen totalmente la pena de usar es muy eficaz y muuy facil de encontrar bloques deacuerdo a tus necesidades y se ha convertido en una herramienta indispensable en mis proyectos; sin embargo he tenido una que otra falla cuando abro un archivo, pero nada imposible de arreglar.

Hi Evelyn! ? It's wonderful to hear how our plugin is enhancing your high-end interior design projects. We're glad that the detailed and accurate parametric families are adding value to your renders. Your feedback is incredibly valuable to us. Thanks for choosing our tool to bring your creative visions to life! ??️

I've installed the plugin and I'm rocking the free version - it's fantastic! I've furnished a whole residential project with it, and I'm blown away by the range of objects available. It's incredibly user-friendly and intuitive, plus the plugin's design is pretty slick, and it seamlessly integrates with Revit. I'd highly recommend it to fellow architects and interior designers.

I clearly remember how it was before the Blocks plugin existed, the many hours I would spend searching for Revit families on the internet, only to find many of low quality.

Developing an architectural or interior design project has become much easier with the Blocks plugin. It's very dynamic; when you need a family, you can quickly search within the plugin, find many excellent options, and with a single click, the family is in your project, a well modeled family that's 100% created in Revit and parametric.

Unfortunately this kind of behaviour and 'module' (block equivalent) handling is far away from the current version of Archicad, as in-place editing is still in the "idea pool" on GS's roadmap: -roadmap/idea-pool

However, as the procedure described by Jared Banks, you can create an object, which then you add to the project and copy it as needed WHILE you keep a copy of the original parts of the object somewhere in your project.

Then, if you want to make a change to all the objects, you edit your original parts and save them as an object with the same name. All object copies will update. Of course, now you will need to keep a copy of the edited object if you want to further make changes and so forth. Not worth it for a couple of objects, but if you have lets say over 100 hundred custom made panels, then you might want to look into this.

I don't think creating objects it is a replacement for a workflow where you basically double click any of the copies, do the modifications, and click away to finish it (instanced groups in Revit, blocks in Rhino, Autocad, symbols in VW, even Sketchup has very powerful and dead simple techniques for instancing model parts).

Blocks have a purpose for easy replication, creating identical (or slightly different) copies, the closest to this functionality in Archicad are indeed objects at the moment, but these are not quite blocks - GDL editing is way too much firepower in many cases, and a nightmare in others (doors, windows - especially for historic renovations...): they lack context in every case (try using trace and reference, or anything to locate the actual drawing), making the creation not very intuitive. I could cite 3ds max as a further example, where copying is very nuanced.

This should be way easier than it is at the moment, as I see all the current workflows in Archicad unnecessarily tedious. Hotlinks could be also mentioned, but they are more like xrefs, let it be through the iceberg method or saving .mod files.

Overall, I would seriously appreciate bumping the GS's effort on "blocks in Archicad": let it be revamping objects, copying an established workflow from other sw, calling it in-place hotlink editing (or editing objects "in place" to access the model to do modifications in relation to it) etc. - I think there is a massive potential for improvement here.

Its safe to say we all agree on your points @furtonb, and it has been askwished for many times; but the OP was wondering about block-like behaviour, which can indeed be replicated in archicad, albeit in a not so convenient way, with the method i described. No gdl is needed, you just override an existing obrject with a newer version of itself. Useful if you do have many repeating custom-made objects that might need some editing in the future, but not much else.
