I still haven’t found what I’m looking for

Trying to navigate your way around a Revit model can be a challenging and time-consuming exercise. Fortunately, Ideate Software tools are on hand to make this easier and more efficient. 


When you are searching for a particular value or element within the Ideate Software applications, how you specify the search term can affect the results produced.



In the example below, searching for Block A, the results are finding any level with either Block or A in the name.

Adding quotation marks will return results that match exactly Block A.
