This year's upgrades reflect our commitment to solving real-world challenges faced by our users by providing enhancements that are practical, intuitive, and impactful. With these updates, we’re helping our customers focus less on tedious tasks and more on delivering successful projects.”

Ideate Explorer: Refined selection capabilities make it easier than ever to isolate, investigate, and manage elements within your Revit model-streamlining your modeling workflows.

Ideate BIMLink: Enjoy greater control with the ability to create new materials with improved asset accuracy, generate detailed material quantity takeoffs-including painted materials-and build dynamic sheet lists driven by revision or issuance data. Plus, you can now review visibility graphics in linked models to ensure consistency and clarity in your documentation.

IdeateApps ViewCreator: Go further with view creation tools to quickly batch generate 3D views, area plans, multiple space-based view types and curtain panel elevations. Seamlessly place them onto newly created sheets in just a few clicks.

IdeateApps Align: Now supports cross-model view alignment-including simultaneous alignment of multiple views-to ensure visual consistency across all models and project documentation.

IdeateApps SmartDelete: Work freely with modeless operation, enabling real-time model edits while SmartDelete helps you identify elements that can be safely deleted from the project.

About Ideate Software, GRAITEC GROUP:

Ideate Software, an Autodesk® Authorized Developer, empowers Revit users to gain unprecedented control over their BIM data. Ideate BIMLink, Ideate Explorer, Ideate Sticky, IdeateApps, Ideate StyleManager, and Ideate Automation solve persistent problems in architecture, engineering, and construction and owner-operator (AECO) industry to save time, increase accuracy, and improve project deliverables and workflows. Ideate Automation enables Revit users to boost the power of Revit and the Ideate Software suite of tools by running time-intensive activities in the background.

Autodesk and Revit are registered trademarks or trademarks of Autodesk, In c. and/or its subsidiaries and/or affiliates in the USA and/or other countries. 

As an Autodesk® Authorized Developer and part of the GRAITEC GROUP, Ideate Software develops trusted Revit plug-ins that tackle the nitty-gritty of everyday BIM workflows. Their robust lineup includes Ideate BIMLink, Ideate Explorer, Ideate Sticky, IdeateApps, Ideate StyleManager, and Ideate Automation—each built to reduce friction and free up design time.

With Ideate Software, Revit users gain deeper control of model data, faster QA/QC processes, and smarter automation across the board.

Linking Revit and Excel with Ideate BIMLink enables you to export data from Revit to Excel, streamlining data management tasks and dramatically reducing the time they take to perform. Importing data from Excel to Revit means that your models will be instantly updated with all changes.

In addition to saving time and enhancing the quality of your Revit data, Ideate BIMLink will improve collaboration by enabling Revit users to export data from Revit to Excel where non-Revit users can provide input and then, with a push of a button, import the data from Excel into Revit. 

This scripting solution runs time-intensive BIM tasks in the background during non-business hours or while your staff does more meaningful work. Either started manually or scheduled to run at night. Ideate Automation allows users to schedule scripts to pick a file, perform a task, and create an output file, so they can come into work with a time-consuming task already complete.
