Ideate BIMLink is a Revit add-on used mainly for data editing tasks. It allows you to extract information from the Revit project and then manipulate that data within Microsoft Excel. You can then pull those changes back into your Revit model for fast, accurate updates. Ideate BIMLink gives you unprecedented access and control for almost all of the data within the Revit building information model. Ideate BIMLink powers the “I” in BIM.

Ideate BIMLink allows you to edit system, project or family parameters within the Revit model. You can choose to edit parameters that appear within a schedule or even access parameters that are impossible to select when creating a Revit schedule. Additionally, you can use Ideate BIMLink to bulk rename families and types within your project. As well as create new instances of selected categories. Ideate BIMLink gives you unprecedented access and control for almost all of the data within the Revit building information model.

Data management tasks and workflow take a small fraction of the time they once took. The cumulative advantage means more than hours freed. You gain unprecedented access to the Revit modeling data you need, for an enhanced workflow.

Even unseen BIM data can be managed. With Ideate BIMLink, you can take full advantage of Excel’s capability to reveal multiple lines of data at once. Eliminate the ‘double handling’ of data and reduce the chance of manual errors, avoid related costly on-site delays, and remove error-based re-work. BIMLink opens a wide, safe door for collaboration between Revit and non-Revit users, allowing the entire project team to access Revit modeling data for more efficient project management. Improve the speed and accuracy of the data. Enhance the Revit workflow by stretching your per-project hours, saving money and time.
