Schedule Tasks in Revit with Ideate Automation

Adjust the Script Variable Settings

• Select one or more Revit files or create a list of models
• Choose your export locations – these can be local or on BIM360/ACC (via desktop connector)
• Select the IFC Setup Source from one of three options:
• External setup – browse to your custom external .json file or use one of the pre-loaded .json files that ships with Ideate Automation
• Built-in – use one of the many export Setup options available in Revit
• Project-specific – if you create your own setup within a Revit file, type in the name of that setup to access it
• Specify an Export View by typing it in, or leave it blank for the default 3D view
• Name your export file under File Name
• Check IFC Files only to make sure only the IFC file is exported
• Access additional settings using the dropdown arrow in the upper right

Schedule Future Exports

• Under “Home” select the frequency of exports and save the schedule
• As long as your machine is powered on, the task will run as scheduled
