Rhino 3D | Architecture, Construction and Engineering

Along with Grasshopper, Rhinoceros is a comprehensive 3D modeling program for architecture, engineering, manufacturing and construction. Rhino 3D enhances the concept creation capability of a team while determining the form of the building while designing. Rhino is the most widely used program for freeform roofs, parametric facades, repetitive elements of a structure (such as panels, curtain wall elements), multifaceted shapes or complex structures. Rhino is one of the best computer aided design and modeling tools that offer a wide range of solutions for every stage of the entire process, from design to production.

“For the design, development and realization of the complex morphology of the pavilion, it was necessary to establish an information loop for the finite element analyzes and simulations, the model of the project and the computer aided numerical control tools. In this sense, there is a direct relationship between Form finding and Structural design.” - Stuttgart University

Dynamic Design Tools

Rhino is one of the best tools for exploring and developing a wide variety of solutions. Rhino 3D combined with Grasshopper is an ideal program for creating dynamically related geometries such as NURBS surfaces, mesh and solid models. Grasshopper enables dynamic work, even the most complex geometries, to explore new design options. With Grasshopper 3D, you can explore new options that were previously impossible to design or manufacture;

• Build parametric systems to explore design options.
• See changes in real time.
• Explore data manipulations by incorporating intelligent datasets into the design process.
• Optimize form and topology with analysis tools.
  
• Filter and structure information to include in the design.
• Speed ​​up coordination by converting to/from a wide variety of file formats.

BIM and Documentation

Rhino can integrate into the BIM (Building Information Modeling) workflow with the help of various plugins. You can take advantage of all the features of Rhino to associate geometry and object data with BIM models. Plugins also support import and export with IFC file format to replace Rhino models with other AEC applications.

• Rhino.Inside.Revit, brings the power of Rhino and Grasshopper into the Autodesk Revit® environment.
• Direct and instant integration with ArchiCAD is provided through the Rhino-Archicad Toolset.
• You can take advantage of VisualARQ BIM®'s capabilities to connect geometry and object data.
• You can use many other plugins to import BIM objects directly into the workflow. 
• You can integrate smart datasets with BIM models. 
• You can run other BIM applications with Grasshopper definitions.
• You can manipulate the data to process BIM data between different tools.
