Ideate Explorer for Revit enables Revit professionals to keep their models clean and accurate. When using this model browser, as opposed to a project browser, users decrease the time they spend on model management, increase the accuracy of their models, and reduce file space by:
- Finding and deleting incorrect, obsolete, and hidden problem items, including DWGs,
- Finding, refining, and revising elements, even those excluded from the project browser,
- Getting a full view of any Revit model and understanding all elements in the model,
- Easily complying with standards,
- Auditing and removing Revit warnings.
Use Ideate Explorer to keep your Revit projects on the right path by completing weekly audits of the following 10 areas: Element count; Model/detail lines; Keynotes and revisions; Text and dimensions; Revit Families; Views; Grids, levels, and reference planes; Groups; Worksets; Imports.
