Why choose Ideate Automation?

This scripting solution runs time-intensive BIM tasks in the background during non-business hours or while your staff does more meaningful work. Either started manually or scheduled to run at night. Ideate Automation allows users to schedule scripts to pick a file, perform a task, and create an output file, so they can come into work with a time-consuming task already complete.

"We have been using Ideate Automation to export Excel data from Revit to update Power BI daily. It has been running seamlessly and has been a huge time saver!"
