The script captures the logic that generates the form. The idea behind design scripting-also known by various other terms including visual programming, algorithmic design, algorithmic modeling, or computational design- is to generate a form for a design by writing a script instead of modeling it. Before exploring it in more detail, let’s take a broader look at the area of design scripting in AEC. The new initiative by McNeel & Associates, known as Rhino.Inside Revit, is part of a large initiative called Rhino.Inside, which allows Rhino and Grasshopper to run inside other 64-bit Windows applications such as Revit, AutoCAD, Unity, etc. While Revit already integrates with Autodesk’s own Dynamo application for design scripting, the ability to now also be able to use Grasshopper for this has the potential to dramatically improve Revit’s modeling capabilities, given that Grasshopper is the most well-established, sophisticated, and widely-used algorithmic modeling application currently available. Up until now, the only integration of Rhino and Grasshopper with a BIM application was with ARCHICAD. I recently attended an event hosted by the San Francisco Computational Design Institute (SFSDI) in which I learnt about a new initiative by McNeel & Associates, developers of Rhino, to bring the power of Rhino and its Grasshopper add-in to Revit.
