Experience enhanced efficiency and productivity as complex processes are automated, allowing you to focus on high-value activities while tasks are efficiently handled behind the scenes.
Schedule Revit File Opening
Effortlessly locate the necessary BIM360/ACC or local project files, opt to open them with or without worksets, and even schedule their opening to ensure they are ready for your day’s commencement, saving you valuable time and streamlining your workflow.
Use Dynamic Sheet/View Lists
Generate dynamic lists of sheets and views derived from both standard Revit parameters and customized Ideate BIMLink properties. By integrating BIMLink into your Revit project, you can instruct Ideate Automation to utilize the dynamic list of sheets/views stored in the model for the automated production of PDF files or other export formats.
Create a Health Check Report
Conducte a health assessment on a Revit model and streamline the verification process, minimizing manual intervention required to maintain project integrity and uniformity within your Revit files. This assessment serves to update an already formatted Excel file or PowerBI template with current data regarding your Revit model’s health status.
Automate DIR (Document Issurance Record)
Autonomously generate and distribute weekly Document Issuance Records. The manual consolidation of sheet details and revision/issuance dates into a unified matrix is prone to errors and time-intensive. By employing the IBL-Document_Issuance script, this process can be fully automated, ensuring precise data delivery to your team efficiently and effectively.
Schedule a Publish to BIM360
Configure scheduled automatic publishing of multiple Revit models to BIM360/ACC at your preferred intervals. Whether your preference is daily publishing, Ideate Automation can fulfill your request seamlessly. This approach eliminates the necessity for Design Collaboration access or the consumption of Cloud Credits.
Use a Revit File List
To include several Revit models in a task, you can opt to manually select the files. Another approach to designate the Revit files for an Ideate Automation task is by utilizing a RevitFileList.txt in a specific format. Generating a RevitFileList is straightforward with the AUT-Generate_Revit_File_List script, facilitating efficient file selection for your automation tasks.
