Recently I had the pleasure of hosting our newest webinar on Ideate Query, a component of our Revit model browser, Ideate Explorer. Where Ideate Explorer shows every instance of every element in a Revit model, Ideate Query lets you dig even deeper to search on a particular property or parameter.
During this 30-minute webinar, I start by showing how to use Ideate Explorer to sort by different methods, such as category, family type, level and workset. Then I demonstrate how to complete some real-world activities:
- Find overridden dimensions
- Find in-place families
- Find revisions on sheet
- Select doors in fire-rated walls
- Review elevation values of devices
- Select rebar by host
If you missed the session, would like to see it again or want to share it with a colleague, here’s a link to the recording.
Ideate Explorer is one of our five Revit productivity tools. To learn more, visit our website. Give them a try with a free trial version, or subscribe today.
