Increase productivity,eliminatethe need to train staff on repetitive tasks, and ensure task outcomes are highly predictable, free of user errors, and standardized with Ideate Automation. This scripting solution runs time-intensive BIM tasks in the background while your staff does more meaningful work. Eitherstartedmanually or scheduled to run at night, Ideate Automation is empowering and cost-effective.

Use Ideate Automation with Revit to:

  1. View, sort, and open Revit models from a unified interface, accessing files hosted on AutodeskForma, BIM 360, or local servers and machines without navigating cloud project hierarchies or directory structures

  1. Schedule large Revit models or any supported file format to open automaticallybefore work hours, so teams arrive with models open, links loaded, worksets set, and the correct Revit version already running

  1. Batch export PDF, DWG, NWC, and IFCdeliverables from multiple Revit models on demand or during off-hours

  1. Publish Revit models to Autodesk BIM 360 or Autodesk Formaon a fully customizable schedule, with or without links, ensuring consistently up-to-date model availability for other teams and stakeholders

  1. Automate Revit model and Revit family auditing and compactingacross multiple files, running these tasks unattended to maintain model integrity and reduce bloat over time

  1. Generate detached Revit model backupswith support for dynamic pathing for destination folders - routing outputs to local directories or cloud storage locations

UseIdeate Automation and otherIdeate Software tools to:

  1. Leverage in-model Batch Export Packages or externally saved ExportHub Package settingsto export multi-format files using the ExportHub script

  1. Automate Revit project setupusing Ideate BIMLink to generate new Revit elements including Worksets, Levels, Views, and Sheets

  1. Export detailed Revit model health and performance data, generate Revit warnings reports, and run a style and annotation analysis using the Ideate Automation Health Check workflow

  1. Create automated CSV reportsfor Revit family, Revit model, and element metrics

  1. Produce complete document issue recordsfor project tracking and compliance

  1. Generate COBie-compliant data dropsfor BIM project handover, automate quantity takeoff generation for cost and material analysis, and perform background spell checks across Revit models without user interruption
