BEAM
Import Rhino® geometries and blocks as Autodesk® Revit™ families
Importing a .beam
Select the .beam exported from Rhino with BEAM .
The dialog list all available .beam files from the current .beam directory in chronological order, making it easy to pick the most recent export.
Importing in projects
When importing into a Revit project, elements can be brought in as loadable families or system families, depending on the category used or the Import As option selected.
You can import geometry either by the Revit project origin or by the project’s shared coordinates, depending on how you want the geometry aligned.
Some categories can only be imported as system families (DirectShapes), for example, ramps and mullions.
If a subcategory does not exist in Revit, it will be created automatically.
Importing in families
In a Family Environment, BEAM will import geometry without grouping it. This makes it possible to add Rhino geometry directly into existing families or to use it when creating special types of families.
