“Before joining Engineering PLUS, I had used Ideate Software tools at previous employers and had personally met with their Director of Software Development at Autodesk University to learn about new features,” said Miguel Granja, BIM Manager, Engineering PLUS. 


He continued, “When I interviewed with Engineering PLUS and discussed their reputation for delivering outstanding innovative technology design solutions, I suggested that they look into Ideate Software, whether they hired me or not. It’s a year later, and I’m here and we use Ideate Software tools on a daily basis.”

Reducing Editing Time from Hours to Minutes with Ideate BIMLink

Within Miguel’s first month at Engineering PLUS, the company had the opportunity to experience the power of Ideate BIMLink on a transportation project where the client needed them to change a few instance parameters on a large number of families.


“Performed manually, this task would have taken a long time and opened the door to errors,” said Miguel. “With Ideate BIMLink, the time spent editing reduced from hours to less than 10 minutes, and we were confident that all the data on the changed parameters was correct. Our staff was happy because they delivered high-quality work quickly without having to perform tedious tasks.”

Simplifying Daily Tasks

When talking about how Ideate Software tools for Revit have saved them time while enhancing their designs, Ramiro Bautista, CAD Designer, and Kayla Holden, Senior Associate, shared several ways they use the plugins:


They use Ideate BIMLink to quickly manage sheet revisions, create and update sheet information, extract data from link models and populate schedules.


Ideate Sticky is their Revit add-in tool of choice for importing schedules and charts from Excel, importing specification documents from Word and creating schedules from linked models to use as references.


The two tools from the IdeateApps collection they use most often are Ideate SheetManager for initial model set up and Ideate ReNumber for renumbering and reorganizing detail sheets or sheets with multiple views.
