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.

Supercharge Your Coding Agents: Introducing ShapeDiver Agent Skills

If you have tried agentic or vibe coding, you already know how AI coding assistants can be game-changers. (If you haven’t, what are you waiting for?) But of course, not everything is always as perfect as the results you see online make it seem. As you might have noticed, there are a few things that AI coding assistants tend to do that actually make your life harder. They hallucinate, guess API calls, use tokens to explore code paths that you would never need, and keep you debugging things for no reason.

Solve these issues with ShapeDiver Agent Skills. These skills are a set of instructions that guide AI assistants with ShapeDiver-specific knowledge. Therefore, you can achieve higher-quality results in less time with even fewer tokens. Sounds too good to be true, right?

Whether you're using GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Claude Code, or Windsurf, you can now use those skills and make your “dumb” AI coding assistants experts.
