Import Excel Values into Revit
The Import from Excel command in Ideate BIMLink imports Excel spreadsheet values into Revit element properties.
To Import from Excel:
- Select the Import… button on the main dialog as shown above.
- In the Import Excel file dialog, select the Excel spreadsheet file which you previously created with Export Revit Elements to Excel.
- Ideate BIMLink will then analyze the Excel file to determine which worksheets can be associated with a Ideate BIMLink link defined in the current Revit project. For more information about which worksheets are considered for import, see Excel Naming Conventions for Revit Elements.
- If the selected Excel file has one or more worksheet that can be imported, you must select the worksheet to import.
