Conveyor

Seamless Rhino-to-Revit geometry and data translation without coding

Geometry and data management plugin that enables simple, user-friendly translation of Rhino 3D models into native Revit BIM elements. Includes Semantic data management tool for custom properties, change tracking, and element updates during iterative design. Designed to expand Rhino.Inside.Revit workflows without requiring Grasshopper expertise.

WHY IT EXISTS

Why This Tool Exists

The Problem

Architecture and design teams working across Rhino and Revit face significant workflow friction. Manual geometry conversion is time-consuming and error-prone. Changes to Rhino models require complete re-export/re-import workflows. Advanced interoperability (like Rhino.Inside.Revit) requires Grasshopper knowledge, limiting accessibility to non-technical team members. Data management between platforms is fragmented.

The Solution

Conveyor provides direct, UI-based Rhino-to-Revit translation through a simple dockable panel interface. Native element conversion preserves design intent without mesh approximation. Semantic tool assigns custom properties in Rhino that automatically map to Revit schedules. Change tracking identifies modified elements for selective updating. No Grasshopper or coding required.
