LIONESS

Free plug-in for Rhino 8

Review 3D models in Rhino

Reviewing a model usually means clicking through hundreds of objects and keeping notes in a spreadsheet. Lioness does the checking for you and keeps the notes with the model.

Open the model in Rhino.

Four steps

It's one panel beside your model. Most reviews go top to bottom, but nothing is locked.

1

Load

Open your Rhino file. If the model lives in Revit, pull it across with Rhino.Inside.Revit. The Revit file is never touched.

2

Check

Press Run check. Lioness looks for missing or wrong data, broken geometry and objects that aren't detailed enough, and scores each one.

3

Review

Work down the list. Click a problem and Rhino zooms to the object. Raise an issue, or accept it and note why.

4

Share

Export a PDF report, a spreadsheet of every object, or a BCF file your issue tracker can open.
