The Create page is where you can browse and search the Library Folders for Scripts to use as a basis for your Automation Tasks.
Before creating any tasks please read the Files page.
Select Create on the left to see the Task Script Selection dialog as shown above.
Under the Library Folders pane is a folder structure of example scripts provided with Ideate Automation.
When a folder or subfolder is selected, the scripts contained within will be displayed in the Scripts pane on the right.
When an individual script is selected, a detailed description is provided in the Task Name: pane at the bottom.
Each Ideate Automation script will have one or more variables. In the example below the script called ISW-Health_Check has eight variables displayed:
${today.yyyMMdd}_
was deleted from the string, the Excel file names would match the name of the selected Revit files with a suffix of ISW-Health_Check.xlsx.After filling in all variables, select Next to proceed to the the Confirm Task Selections dialog.
Before you finalize and start the task you will want to confirm all variables and the Task Name itself. A default task name will be provided by the script, but you can edit this name to your preference.
When you have confirmed all values, and have closed any open sessions of Revit, select Save and Run. You will be returned to the Home page where you’ll see the new task in the task list. The progress bar will display while the task is running. Do not use the version(s) of Revit that are required for the task while the task is running.
