Save Valuable Time

With Ideate BIMLink, you can reach the information you need, speed through data manipulations and never waste a minute with painfully tedious, error prone calculations again.

Ideate BIMLink empowers the “I” in BIM. This gives you unprecedented access to Revit data. You can pull information from a Revit file into user-friendly Microsoft Excel and push volumes of precise, consequential BIM data from Excel into Revit with speed, ease and accuracy. This powerful Revit add-on was developed specifically for the Revit community and works to complement the features in Revit Architecture, Revit Structure, and Revit MEP.

Manage Sheets and Views

Managing Sheets and Views can be one of the most labor intensive and mind-numbing tasks for a BIM project manager. If you, or your project engineers or architects are spending time editing title block data for each Sheet, or view-based parameters for each View, then Ideate BIMLink can easily pay for itself. Ideate BIMLink makes managing these kinds of data 10 times easier than it would otherwise be. The simplicity of using Excel’s search and replace, copy and paste, and spell check features knocks the tedium out of the task.

Manage Content – Type-based Families
Editing functions such spell-check, find and replace, copy and paste, drag-and-drop are much easier within the Excel environment than in Revit. Bring those advantages to your Revit family content by using Ideate BIMLink and Excel to clean-up and review your custom families. In addition to the benefits of accuracy and speed, this methodology allows non-Revit users to edit the Revit content.

Calculate Values in Tags

The process of managing calculated values within tags occurs multiple times throughout a project’s life cycle. It is tedious. It is time consuming. Many hours are subject to being lost in the error prone task of transcribing calculated values from Revit into shared parameters. Whether the project has 50 Rooms, 200 Rooms or thousands, with Ideate BIMLink, the entire process of editing and then re-importing the occupancy values with precision and accuracy takes minutes instead of hours.

Automate Space Programming
Managing the space program in Excel is a common practice, particularly for institutional and commercial projects. Ideate BIMLink can take that space program and push it into Revit to create unplaced rooms. The result is that Ideate BIMLink builds a bridge between pre-design and schematic design, and allows seamless communication between the modeling staff and the project architects.
