    • Ideate BIMLink User Interface Overview

    After starting Ideate BIMLink for Revit, the main dialog is displayed. The home page content displayed on the left side of the dialog will vary depending upon whether the active file has any saved link definitions. In the example below the Welcome text displays because there are no links. This information can be customized.
