Sounds like you?
Year after year, you’ve waited for Revit or Dynamo updates, hoping they’d finally fix your time-consuming manual tasks. Meanwhile…
You spend hours on mind-numbing tasks: renumbering dozens of elements, updating sheets one by one, copying annotations, double-checking model data...
Projects are becoming increasingly complex, and deadlines are accelerating, but you’re stuck, wrestling with Revit’s limitations or clunky workarounds.
You’re trying plugins and macros, but they never quite fit your needs.
Revit API scares you, and writing your own code feels daunting (or simply not fun).
Is this what you’ve studied for?
Is this what a self-respecting designer should be occupied with?
Is this the way to fulfilling your potential and scaling up your career?
I think not.
But keep calm and watch the trailer.
The change is at your fingertips…

What industry experts say about our training
Gavin Nicholls
Aussie BIM Guru
“Kris is one of the most passionate and enthusiastic Grasshopper users I currently know, and I'm pleased to attest that this reflects in the quality and depth of his courses. If you're keen to get a grasp on all things Rhino/Grasshopper related, this is a great place to do so!"
Muhammad Abrar
Structural Computational Design Engineer
"The course has been fantastic, super clear, practical, and well structured. You can tell Junghwo is applying the logics into the main projects and not just teaching theory. I'm already applying these workflows in into my work. And it's just genuinely saving time. (...) Nothing feels like academic, but it's just the stuff that you can actually use immediately. (...) I would definitely recommend this course."
Japhy Walton
Application Specialist at Robert McNeel and Associates
"Another quality release from Kris, this time in collaboration with expert Rhino.Inside.Revit instructor Junghwo Park. Whether you're just starting out or ready to tackle advanced features, these tutorials will accelerate your learning curve significantly."
By the end of this training, you’ll know how to:
Fix Parameters Once, Not Over and Over
Tired of messy parameters? Learn how to instantly get and set values across hundreds of Revit elements like walls, doors, rooms, and floors. Use Grasshopper to insert or update data such as fire ratings, type marks, comments, or area values based on rules or pulled straight from Excel. Save hours and keep your schedules clean without repetitive edits.
Automate Drawing Creation & Annotation
Manual drawing setup takes forever and often leads to mistakes. You’ll learn how to auto-generate views like floor plans and sections, place them on sheets, apply graphic filters, and even auto-tag elements. Your documentation will be fast, consistent, and easy to reproduce.
Build Quality Assurance and Coordination Tools
Keep your models clean, aligned, and clash-free. You’ll build scripts to run automated quality checks, spot missing parameters, detect misaligned elements across linked models, and find problematic geometry . You’ll also run fast collision-style checks between disciplines like MEP and Structure without exporting to Navisworks or struggling with heavy IFCs.
Connect Revit with the Tools You Already Use
Grasshopper becomes your bridge between Revit and hundreds AEC tools like Excel, Power BI, Speckle, and structural or environmental analysis software. Instead of exporting messy IFC, DWG, or SAF files, you’ll sync data directly and streamline collaboration across platforms.
Create Complex Geometry and Families Faster
Model what Revit struggles with. You’ll learn how to generate façades, adaptive components, and custom panels as families or Direct Shapes, without needing the family editor. You’ll also script cleanup tasks to purge unused types, flip geometry, and pin key elements to keep your model light and clean.
Share Your Tools with the Team
Build clean, reusable Grasshopper scripts that anyone on your team can run directly inside Revit, even if they’ve never touched Grasshopper . You’ll getstep-by-step guidance to make your tools scalable, reliable, and team-friendly.
Who is this training for?
- You are a structural engineer, architect, BIM coordinator, MEP Designer, Drafter, or any other AEC professional
- You use Revit and want to automate tasks or create smarter design tools.
- You’re a total beginner to visual programming, or a semi-advanced user who's dabbled in Dynamo/Grasshopper already - there are 2 learning paths to choose from, depending on your experience.
- You want to future-proof your skills and adopt a modern Computational Designer skillset.
- You’re tired of repetitive work in Revit

Why not just learn on your own?
It’s a possibility. But it’s time-consuming and frustrating. We’ve been there, done that, and spent a gazillion hours cutting through the bushes of the internet jungle to occasionally find a nutritious portion of practical, relevant knowledge.
Take a look at the comparison below to see if self-learning is really the right path for you.

It’s easy to get lost in the uncharted land of self-learning.
But hey, we’ve already traversed it and made a proper map!
So how about setting off on this journey together?

Tomasz Stasiukiewicz, Senior Geotechnical Engineer
"Thanks to the training, my work has undoubtedly experienced a significant breakthrough. It is now possible to acquire architectural data from the Revit model, modify elements in coupled geotechnical structural analysis and generate documentation in a highly automated way, as well as create non-standard elements parametrically so that the effect of the analysis can be transferred to the Revit model and used by colleagues from other departments saving hours of work. (...) the course program is laid out in a very thoughtful way and the knowledge is introduced gradually creating a logical sequence. (...) Junghwo can't hide his experience and thanks to that he not only trains, but also inspires. I would recommend this course to anyone, especially people who in the automation of repetitive tasks see an opportunity to change their work styles from one focused on meeting deadlines to one that restores the engineering creativity."
Ted Kujipers, Freelance Facede Engineer
Maksym Sham, Structural Engineer
Didier Mwira , Civil Engineer
"This course is very clear and well-structured and full of practical examples. This course is helping me to understand how to connect properly Grasshopper and Revit to design complex shapes and to save time. So what I really appreciate in this program, it is how each concept is step by step explained and applied in many real-world cases. The authors are knowledgeable, engaging, and passionate about what they teach. I recommend this course to anyone who wanted to push their Revit skills to the next level."

Let’s specify what programming means in the context of our training.
If we’re thinking of coding - e.g., using Revit API, C#, Python it’s NOT needed at all.
If we’re talking about visual programming, there are two options:
- If you’re completely new to Grasshopperand and decide to go for the bundle offer (Grasshopper Fundamentals training + Grasshopper in Revit training) you DON’T need to have any prior visual programming experience. Grasshopper Fundamentals training will give you solid foundations in Grasshopper and visual programming. Then, you will proceed to its application in Revit.
- If you want to start with Grasshopper in Revit training right away, you DO need prior experience in visual programming in Grasshopper. Otherwise, the training may turn out too advanced for you and leave you feeling disappointed and discouraged.
With or without prior experience, you can succeed with our training! It’s just a matter of choosing the right learning path.
I already use Grasshopper (or Dynamo) in my work. Will I still learn something new in this course?
Definitely. This training goes beyond basics and dives into advanced, Revit-specific workflows that even experienced Grasshopper users likely haven’t explored. If you’re coming from Dynamo, you’ll learn a completely new (and more efficient) approach to achieving similar outcomes, plus entirely new capabilities (like leveraging Rhino’s geometry tools or the rich library of Grasshopper plugins). If you’re already familiar with Grasshopper in Rhino, this course will show you how to apply that knowledge within Revit’s environment, dealing with things like Revit parameters, elements, and interoperating with analysis tools. We also cover a ton of tips, best practices, and real-life case studies that will expand your skillset. Our past students with prior experience have told us they were amazed by how much they discovered in the training.
Why use Grasshopper in Revit instead of Dynamo?
Dynamo is a useful tool, but it can feel limiting or slow for complex tasks. Grasshopper, on the other hand, offers greater flexibility, speed, and a vast ecosystem of plugins developed over 15+ years. By using Grasshopper via Rhino.Inside Revit, you get the best of both worlds: Revit’s BIM power and Grasshopper’s advanced automations, integrations, and more. Many users find that Grasshopper enables workflows that were impractical or impossible in Dynamo. Plus, Grasshopper’s visual programming interface and community support can make complex automation more accessible (and dare we say, more fun). In short, Grasshopper opens up new possibilities in Revit – allowing you to automate tedious processes and create parametric designs far beyond Dynamo’s usual reach.
What is the format of this training?
Grasshopper in Revit is an 8-week online program, with flexibility to accommodate your schedule. Each week, a new module is released with video lessons, practical examples, and hands-on assignments. You can watch the pre-recorded lessons at your own pace (no need to quit your day job!). On average, we recommend dedicating 4-6 hours per week to keep up with the materials, but you can go faster or slower as needed. Well-done training is a completed training, regardless of how long it takes you. The course is highly practical with 20:80 theory to practice ratio – you’ll be applying new skills to sample projects (and your own projects) from week one.
In addition, we also host exclusive live workshops where you can ask questions, get feedback, and interact with instructors and fellow students in real time. If you can’t attend a live session, no worries – we record them so you can watch later.
How long will I have access to the materials?
If you start from Advanced Grasshopper in Revit training, you get one entire year of access to all the course content and the community. That includes all video lessons, downloadable resources (Grasshopper definitions, sample Revit files, etc.), and any new updates or additions we make in the future. You can re-watch lessons anytime and revisit the material whenever you need a refresher during the access period. If you go for the Bundle offer, you get lifetime access to the Grasshopper Fundamentals training and one-year access to the Grasshopper in Revit training.
Why does Fundamentals Training offer lifetime access, and Revit Training access is limited to one year?
Each year, there is a new version of Revit released, and RhinoInside.Revit is updated every week with many changes - new components, new workflows. Making sure that the content is up to date takes a lot of time and effort. Also, every month we organize webinars with Revit experts just for GRT students, and new, valuable materials frequently arrive in the training.
Meanwhile, Grasshopper is rather stable, and the content doesn’t require constant revisions.
The Revit course requires a lot more maintenance - hence the different approach.
If I buy a bundle training, will I have access for 1 year or a lifetime to both trainings and the community?
If you buy the bundle, you will have lifetime access to Grasshopper Fundamentals training and community, and 1 year of access to Grasshopper in Revit training and community - which, of course, can be renewed when the access period ends.
What software or licenses do I need to follow the course?
You will need Autodesk Revit (we recommend version 2022 or newer) and Rhino 8 (or later). The connection between them is made possible by the Rhino.Inside Revit plugin (which is free to download), so if you already have Revit and a Rhino license, you’re ready to go.
Grasshopper comes built in with Rhino, so no separate install is needed. If you don’t currently own Rhino, you can use a 90-day free trial from McNeel to get started. We’ll provide guidance on setting up Rhino.Inside Revit in the first module – it’s straightforward, and our team can help if you hit any snags.
Any license issues - get in touch at kris@learngrasshopper.com, and let’s find a solution together.
Is there any community or support if I get stuck?
Absolutely! When you join, you get access to our private online community on Discord where you can ask questions, share progress, and get help from fellow students. Both Kris and Junghwo - the training instructors - are also active in the group to support you. We foster a friendly, no-judgment atmosphere – no question is too basic. You’ll never be left alone; we’re here to make sure you succeed.
Will I receive a certificate for completing the course?
Yes – upon finishing the training, you will receive a signed digital certificate with a unique QR code that can be scanned by your employer or client to confirm the validity of your certification. Also, it takes only a few clicks to publish information about your achievement on LinkedIn directly from the last page of your training. More importantly, you’ll have a portfolio of script examples and results from the course that you can show off as proof of what you can do.
What if I enroll and realize it’s not for me?
We want you to be 100% satisfied. Try the training risk-free: dive into the lessons and start building your scripts, and if you don’t feel you’re getting the value you expected, we offer a 30-day money-back guarantee. Just let us know via email within 30 days of purchase, and we’ll refund the full amount you paid, no questions asked. (Well, we might ask what we could do better, but you’re free to not answer. 😉)
Will the training materials be updated when there are changes in Rhino/Revit?
Absolutely, we keep the training updated at all times, and you will automatically have access to all updates as they arrive for as long as you have active access to the training.
Why is the training limited to 300 spots?
In theory, an online course could have an unlimited number of seats, but we value quality over quantity. It’s crucial for us to offer support to all the training participants if they need us, and the quality of our support would be difficult to maintain if too many students participated at the same time.
Can you give me numbers to back the benefits of learning computational design?
Here are a few examples of credible, quantified impacts AEC teams report when they add computational/BIM-driven automation (e.g., Grasshopper) to everyday work.
- Vendor implementations of Revit automation routinely report >90% time savings on repetitive documentation tasks (sheet/view creation, legends, schedules) when custom add-ins or scripts replace manual steps. (Source: Diroots, case studies)
- Across the industry, 48% of all rework is tied to poor data/miscommunication; better data flows/automation directly target this loss. (US 2018 = $31.3B rework.) (Sources: Plangrid, Autodesk)
- Companies themselves are calling out the need for both tools and talent: in Autodesk’s report, 79% of leaders say future growth depends on digital tools, and two-thirds of firms struggle to find people with the right skills — learning automation materially increases your employability.
