Ideate BIMLink - It Slices, It Dices, It Spellchecks

Kudos to our friend Ishtmeet Singh at GBJ Architecture who suggested we try Ideate BIMLink to spell-check our projects. Sometimes it's the simplest things that are the most useful. I'm embarrassed to say that I did not realize Autodesk Revit Spell Check only works on a per sheet basis. Thanks to Ishtmeet for the great idea. I'm happy to report that Ideate BIMLink handles text like a charm. Being able to utilize my Microsoft Office dictionary on all my Autodesk Revit text is VERY useful. What about handing the full list of text off to your spec writer?? This video shows using Microsoft Excel to catch spelling errors and other great Microsoft Excel text editing tools like changing the case from Sentence Case to Upper Case.

Ideate BIMLink - Share MEP Data

Push. Pull. Power.

We've wrapped up our beta testing period for Ideate BIMLink and are pushing towards the finish line. Our developer Ben Bishoff has his nose to the grindstone catching bugs and trying to incorporate all the great feedback we've had so far.

As promised, here's another short video that demonstrates how Ideate BIMLink can be used. In this example, information about the diffusers is being shared externally with an engineer who doesn't have Revit. After reviewing and modifying the Specified Airflow values within Excel, this data is then pushed back into Revit via Ideate BIMLink.



Let us know what you think!
