Best friends is an interoperability toolkit by Chris Malcolm. "Interoperability" is basically the communication and exchange of data between softwares, in our case Revit and Rhino. Revit is a great documentation/BIM tool but often difficult to control geometry. Rhino allows for easier modeling, but often not used for Documentation.
Although there are quite a few interop plugins and toolkits out there, most of them operate on the "wipe replace" method. Best friends is built on the idea that when the position or attributes of panels change, we should be able to "update" existing curtian panels and adaptive components, rather than regenerating them. This allows us to retain existing attributes,dimensions, tag,etc in revit.
