Ideate BIMLink, which celebrated its 10-year anniversary last year, is a proven product that helps thousands of Revit users all around the globe manage their Revit data by extracting it from the Revit model, sending it to Microsoft Excel for review or manipulation, and then importing it back into the Revit project for updates.
