Top workflows performed by Ideate Automation include: 


  • Exporting key Revit model health data
  • Creating document issue records
  • Managing COBie data
  • Generating quantity take-off data
  • Delivering reports on key Revit family and project metrics
  • Exporting schedules from Revit
  • Creating PDF and DWG exports from Revit files


In addition to a good overview of Ideate Automation, you’ll see some examples of it in use, including setting up and scheduling a comprehensive Revit model health check that pulls information about the health of the selected Revit model from multiple Ideate Software solutions into a single Excel file that can then be used in downstream applications such as Power BI.
