PRESS RELEASE Contact: [email protected] San Francisco, CA, 10/22/2015 - Ideate Software, a veteran Autodesk Developer Network member, announced today the publication of its latest "Spotlight on" customer success profile featuring Eppstein Uhen Architects (EUA) and its management of complex Autodesk Revit projects with the full suite of Ideate Software tools.

Ideate Software is a set of in-depth Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) data management tools that help keep Revit models clean. With Ideate Software, staff can delete problem items, analyze files quickly, and enhance BIM data flow with increased speed and accuracy. The software can facilitate better collaboration, minimize workflow interruptions, improve project deliverables, and elevate design.

Phyllis Robbins, EUA's Design Application Manager, finds Ideate Software to be consistent, reliable, elegant, and clean. "Personally, I see Ideate Software as the premier developer for add-in solutions," she said. "Ideate BIMLink has saved days of tedious, repetitive, manual renumbering with considerable possibility for error."

Her team uses Ideate Explorer for Revit to globally query and manage Revit models, even to find tricky CAD imports. "Ideate Explorer makes that task easy to execute," said Robbins. Because Ideate Sticky can connect non-BIM data from an Excel file into a Revit project, EUA uses it to realize a number of different benefits on each project. "We see Ideate Sticky as a team productivity solution," she said.

Bob Palioca, President, Ideate Software, says, "It's gratifying to hear how a client uses all of the Ideate Software tools to realize significant benefits such as time savings and accuracy. This kind of story acts as confirmation that our software designs for the AEC community are on target and appropriate." Ideate Software has published "Ideate Software Presents: Spotlight on Eppstein Uhen" success story online.
