Automate Your Revit Workflows with Ideate Automation

In our recent webinar on Ideate Automation, we dove into streamlining repetitive tasks, reducing errors, and enhancing accuracy. We covered key topics like exporting Revit data, generating quantity take-offs, reporting essential project metrics, and automating file exports. 


In just 30 minutes, you’ll learn about Ideate Automation, which automates repetitive tasks, saving time, reducing the chance of human error, and delivering consistent and predictable outcomes. Ideate Automation is a scripting solution that silently runs tasks in the background on PCs or virtual machines either on demand or at specific times and intervals. Used with Revit as well as with Ideate Software solutions such as Ideate BIMLinkIdeate ExplorerIdeateApps, and Ideate StyleManager, it supports Revit versions 2020-2025.


In addition to a good overview of Ideate Automation, you’ll see some examples of it in use, including setting up and scheduling a comprehensive Revit model health check that pulls information about the health of the selected Revit model from multiple Ideate Software solutions into a single Excel file that can then be used in downstream applications such as Power BI.
