Then learn Revit in larger offices if that is the direction they go. So you may need to learn it anyway.įor what it is worth, on the academic side, my students in Japan all use rhino and Autocad still.

With the new Rhino integration with Revit I get the impression this is how they are going to overcome its lack of flexibility. Grasshopper is something we do look for and consider a plus, all other things being equal. That said, we would not care so much if you couldn't use Rhino and we wanted to hire you for other reasons. Cant imagine using Revit to design anything ever. So far I find that Revit is not good for developing designs, though that may change. We use rhino and recently switched from acad to revit because we are working on larger projects in Europe. We are a small office, usually around 10 people. I would be very interested in hearing your thoughts on this. As result, I am thinking about shifting away from 'digital tools' proficiency altogether and spending this time to improve on more core architectural skills instead, like design ability. Essentially, I think that I might already know enough software, so perhaps it is not wise to learn another package. On the other hand, I can't help but think that learning Rhino very well could only place me in the equivalent '3D Rhino intern' position, as opposed to the 'Revit intern' position that I had before. I am also curious as to whether there are practices that combine Rhino & Revit, so whether the combination of the two could place me in a desirable position.

Finally, knowing one more software package could make me more versatile. Therefore, I am wondering if knowing Rhino could help me get into a more 'designer' related professional path, as opposed to the technical path associated with Revit use. It seems that this is a programme used a lot for design, as opposed to Revit which is mainly used for documentation. On the one hand, many large practices are asking for Rhino & Grasshopper. Given my Revit proficiency, I was wondering if learning Rhino at this stage would add any value to my CV. I already know Revit and have used it in professional practice in quite advanced level (shared parameters, adaptive components etc.) I am currently in graduate school and have been thinking about expanding my software skillset.
