Embedding Firm-Specific Solvers into a Design Pipeline: Grasshopper + ShapeDiver + Skema to Revit

Описание: In this end-to-end workflow example, Grasshopper, ShapeDiver, and Skema combine to embed firm-specific solvers into a cloud-based design pipeline — and then flow results into Revit with full fidelity.

You’ll see how to generate custom unitized facades, integrate ShapeDiver + Skema for reusable parametric logic, and translate those outputs into coordinated, data-rich BIM models in Revit that preserve design intelligence and reduce delivery risk.

In this session, originally delivered as a workshop at AECTech 2025, you’ll learn how to:
▸ Capture firm-specific rules in Grasshopper and publish them through ShapeDiver
▸ Integrate Skema with ShapeDiver to automate facade and layout generation
▸ Generate custom unitized facades across projects using reusable presets=
▸ Use Skema as the mediator to manage geometry and metadata across platforms
▸ Export to Revit via Rhino.Inside for high-fidelity BIM deliverables
▸ Sync Skema’s data-rich analytical models into Revit while preserving structure, materials, and intent

The result: a connected workflow where parametric intelligence is not lost in translation — from early concept through coordinated BIM delivery.
