We love hearing from customers!

Recently, we got an email from David W. Koch, BIM Technical Expert at EwingCole


David wrote,

 

“I had a project where we needed to remove a future phase and all associated items before sending the model to the construction manager. Ideate Explorer to the rescue! Setting Display to Entire Project and Sort by to Phase made quick work of that task. I also had to delete all of the Sheets and all of the Drafting Views. Sheets were easy, once I discovered that I had to set all Revision Sequences to Unissued. Drafting Views posed a challenge, but I was able to use Ideate Query for that. 

 

Thank you, David!
