Ideate Automation contains several sample script (.def) files that can be used to open Revit and run several Ideate BIMLink processes in the background. The scripts can be used by the Ideate Automation Queue, as shown in the images below, or used in conjunction with other tools, like the Windows Task Scheduler. In this topic you can learn about the purpose of each sample script.
