    1. Start Ideate BIMLink and select Load Sample...
    2. Select the link definition called "Title_Blocks" and then "Next>".
    3. Within the Properties dialog confirm that the “Family and Type” property is included as shown.
    4. Next, from the Link tab, confirm that the Link Option to “Export with drop-down values” is selected, as shown.
    5. Now, when you export to Excel, you will see a drop-down option within your Excel file as shown. In this example, the list of choices is defined in column F for use as a data validation within column D.
