BSS Title Edition XIV: Grasshopper that ends inside Revit or Archicad

Edition XIV of the 

Building System Specialist Title

September 1
by PAZ Academy

Most parametric training ends where the definition ends: You get geometry, and then you get a problem, because nobody downstream can build from a definition. This LinkedIn session carries the work across the bridge—Rhino.Inside.Revit, or the Grasshopper–Archicad connection, depending on which side of the office you sit on. The output is a coordination model a team can actually work in.

Five months, three parts, eighteen levels: Rhino and Grasshopper foundations, parametric design systems, data structures, automation, optimization, Python, AI, environmental analysis, and the BIM integration above.

Taught online in English, with professors reachable in German, Hungarian and Spanish. Minimum six hours a week with constant personal mentoring. Six hours a week is the honest filter: The software is learnable, the hours are the commitment.

7'470 CHF, installments available, student rate on request. Cohorts are kept small, and seats for this edition are nearly gone.

Rhino-CVC - New object library for HVAC

 

Rhino-CVC is a 3D object library associated with Grasshopper definitions, distributed in a Rhino toolbar, allowing to create piping, VMC and heating elements, automatically and fully configurable with ergonomics.

Parametric elements include:

• 3D and 5D curves to be welded
• Concentric and eccentric reducers
• Dished ends to be welded,
• Equal and reduced tees to be welded
• Radiators (fully configurable)
• Straight tubes (steel, copper, stainless steel, multilayer, and PVC)
• Bendable tubes (steel, copper, multilayer)
• Piping layers

The tubes have built-in yardage (length, weight, and capacity). The layers are preconfigured (choice in the tools).

Bills of materials—very clean with the possibility of formatting—are automatically generated individually: piping, fitting to be welded, equipment, and VMC.

This plugin receives updates to increase its rich capabilities further and also to improve them constantly because we are more than anything, eager to offer the best tool possible to have as much fun using it as we had to create it!
