Ideate BIMLink: Much More than an Excel to Revit Tool

When quickly describing Ideate BIMLink, we say that it’s a BIM data management tool that lets you move data from a Revit model to an Excel spreadsheet for easy editing, and then push the updated data back into the model with speed, ease, and accuracy. 


It is so much more than that.


Below is a list of ways you can use Ideate BIMLink to leverage the data in your Revit model as well as links to the related Help files that have more details and step-by-step instructions:
