Advanced: Uploading Walls

Rhino

If your project already has predefined walls, you can upload them directly to Finch from both Rhino and Revit and still make use of Adaptive Plan Library and AI Generate Unit Plan.

Remember to upload only the mass first. Make sure the geometry is one closed polysurface.

Walls are represented by their centerlines and can be created from lines or polylines. The Z-height of walls in Rhino is not used, since story heights are managed directly in Finch. Walls will appear in the story that corresponds to the layer they are placed on.
