What's New in Ideate Sticky for Revit

Ideate Sticky imports and synchronizes your Excel file content into the Revit project environment. To ensure consistent graphic results, all Ideate Sticky end-users should be updated at the same time. You can always check to see if you have the latest version by using the Help menu option called "Check for Updates".

See below for the most recent improvements to Ideate Sticky.

May 2019 Update

Performance

This version of Ideate Sticky includes a significant performance enhancement that impacts Excel files wherein many named regions are defined. Performance improvements may be up to 10x faster depending upon the number of named regions found within the Excel file.

November 2018 Update

Relative Pathing & BIM 360 Support

With the addition of relative path support, you can now move or rename your project folders (in Windows Explorer) and maintain Ideate Sticky file pathing. For projects using the Desktop Connector for BIM 360, you can now synchronize your Ideate Stickies files from that source.

Improved Excel Formula Support

Some Excel files that were previously incompatible with Sticky due to the use of specific formulas will now work. Examples of formulas that now work include:

• IFNA
• CEILING.MATH
• Named Regions with “.”
• SUBTOTAL(10X, …
• SHEET() (blank value)

GDPR Compliance

This release contains changes to our standalone and trial activation processes to comply with the Global Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our network licensing has always functioned wholly inside the customer’s own network and has therefore always met this criteria.
