IdeateApps is a set of Revit applications designed to increase the productivity of the entire project team. Developed with specific tasks in mind, these tools address the challenges identified by people who use Revit software every day. IdeateApps will decrease the time spent on common tasks and increase the accuracy of BIM data in a Revit model, helping to keep projects of all sizes and complexities on time and on budget.

Ideate BIMLink can help you to reduce wasteful data-entry tasks by enabling Revit parameter editing in Excel which can then be pushed back into Revit. Tedious tasks that used to take days and weeks are now completed in minutes and hours. 

​

• Warnings Manager - Easily review and manage Revit warnings 

• Navigate - Navigate through view-based elements within Revit—legends, schedules, sheets, and views—and quickly customize the browsing experience

​

Ideate StyleManager addresses the challenges that arise when Revit users import content into the model, because the corresponding styles automatically come with the content. Proper management of these styles reduces publishing errors and end-user confusion, but the management process in Revit is time consuming and risky, and errors can dramatically impact the models and production documents.

 

Use Ideate StyleManager to:

 

• Safely delete styles that otherwise cannot be deleted or purged in Revit software

• Merge non-standard styles into standard styles

• Forensically analyze the usage of all styles to understand the true scope of a deletion

• Cleanup Object Styles, Line Styles, Line Patterns, Fill Patterns, Materials, Material Appearance Assets, View Filters, Templates, and Scope Boxes

• Understand which views are using which View Filters
