food4Rhino webinar: 
jifto – Sustainability Assessments by Henning Larsen Architects

June 17, 2026, at 5 PM CEST

How do people experience the spaces we design? Will the plaza get any winter sun? Is the courtyard too windy for a cafe in spring? How much biodiversity is there on the site—and where does the rain go during cloudburst? For years, answering these questions meant waiting on a specialist. jifto changes that. It offers instant environmental analysis in the hands of designers, for any project, any budget, and any scale. In this one-hour webinar, we will take you on a helicopter tour of what jifto can do, from sunlight, wind, and microclimate to stormwater, and biodiversity—and show you live how it fits into early-stage design decisions.

About the speaker: Mariusz Hermansdorfer is on a mission to democratize sustainability. Previously Head of Computational Design at Henning Larsen, backed by a PhD in the field. Now, founder of Nflection, the team behind jifto. They're building a personal sustainability assistant that fits any project, any budget, and any scale.

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.

Fix Revit’s top pains in 6 steps with Grasshopper - Free online workshop (November 11, 2025 at 14h CET)

Fix Revit’s top pains in 6 steps with Grasshopper - Free Online Workshop

November 11, 2025
14:00 - 16:00 CET (GMT +1)

This workshop is built around what Revit users struggle with the most: endless parameter edits, time-consuming sheets/views, families at scale, naming chaos, slow models, and painful exports. 

Computational engineer Kris Wojslaw and Rhino.Inside.Revit expert Junghwo Park will show six ready-to-use automations to set up Rhino.Inside correctly, keep models fast, and deliver clean, consistent documentation. No Revit API is needed, only Grasshopper.

You’ll learn to:

• Set up Rhino.Inside + Grasshopper (install, UI, units/origins preflight).
• Load/place families at scale; create simple GH-driven components (or DirectShapes for speed).
• Bulk-edit parameters with validation (Excel round-trip, QA rules).
• Auto-create views and sheets with rule-based filters and consistent layouts.
