Precision Through Surface Logic: A Class-A Surfacing Study in Rhinoceros 3D

This educational study explores Class-A surfacing logic in Rhinoceros 3D through a focused investigation of surface continuity, reflection flow, and control-vertex discipline. Using a faucet geometry as a neutral formal framework, the project examines how analytical feedback can actively guide high-quality NURBS surface construction.

Rhino.Inside.Revit online workshop, March 11-13, 2026 (McNeel Europe)

Since 2009, numerous third-party plugins have improved interoperability between Autodesk’s BIM software Revit and Rhino/Grasshopper. Introduced with Rhino 7, Rhino.Inside.Revit significantly advances this integration by adding over 300 Revit-aware components to Grasshopper, enabling users to query, modify, analyze, and create native Revit elements directly within Grasshopper.

In this workshop, Junghwo Park, BIM Manager at Doka GmbH, will introduce participants to Rhino.Inside.Revit, a powerful framework that integrates Rhino and Grasshopper directly within Autodesk Revit. Participants will gain a basic understanding of Rhino.Inside.Revit, learn about BIM management use cases, and explore parametric BIM workflows with Rhino.Inside.Revit and selected Grasshopper plugins for design automation.

Rhino.Inside.Revit also provides a powerful translation API for building custom conversion workflows between Revit data and Rhino geometry and metadata. Its advanced geometry conversion API ensures accurate translation of complex Rhino shapes into Revit, and it is fully accessible through Grasshopper’s Python and C# scripting components.
