Rhino subD modeling: 

multipipe
Gumball + control+shift
Window selection vs double click ( point, edge, face)
Edge loop
bevel
Extrude + Gumball
Reflection
Bridge/stitch
Subdiv
Delete face/edge
crease/hard edge

cage-like structure. 

A similar approach can be found in remesh and retopology. You might also apply a similar method in Revit using Rhino inside Revit, or use Freeform modeling in Max .
