Ready for a deep dive into how to use Ideate Annotate to support Revit design documentation and quality control activities through enhanced browse, review, and intelligent tagging workflows? Watch the recording of this webinar.

In this 45-minute webinar, which we developed to provide a thorough lesson for both new and experienced users, we demonstrate how to use each of the three tabs in Ideate Annotate:

1. Browse – Browse all 2D annotative elements, align and distribute text, create powerful rules to isolate the exact elements to see, and more
2. Review – See problems with annotation elements, such as clashes, blank tags, duplicate tags, orphaned tags, and elevation marks with no elevations
3. Tag – Implement powerful intelligent tagging, such as tagging duct work that is over or under a certain length

After this course, you will have the information you need to expedite production documentation work with easy access to all annotative elements and to reduce liability by ensuring the legibility of tags, text, dimensions, and other annotative elements.

As a company that develops software for Revit users in architecture, engineering, construction, and owner-operator (AECO) industries, we were proud to sponsor the 2024 AIA LA Technology Conference. The event brought together AECO industry leaders to explore how to use technology to create a more sustainable and resilient future for the built environment. 

Representing Ideate Software at the conference was Business Development Manager Rahul Verma, who is known for leveraging his extensive experience to help customers solve their BIM workflow problems. 

Presenting Sponsor

As Presenting Sponsor, Rahul got to speak to all attendees in between presentations. He:

• Introduced Ideate Software tools for Revit
• Directed attendees to an area set up with a video that highlighted all our products as well as Ideate Software swag
• Invited everyone to visit him at the booth to discuss BIM challenges and see demonstrations on how Ideate Software tools can address those challenges 

The conference kept attendees busy with presentations and panel discussions, but during the breaks, many customers and prospective customers visited our booth for more information.

As we continue our newly launched bi-weekly, 15-minute sessions on specific workflows, we will amass quite a collection of recordings of training sessions that deliver demonstrations on how to use our tools to address challenges faced by BIM managers and Revit users in all disciplines.

To make it easy for customers to find the information they need, we are giving each session a descriptive title and housing all recordings together in a playlist on our YouTube channel called 15@15 Recordings.

People who spend a lot of time waiting for Revit to export data into IFC files, will want to watch the recording of this webinar on Ideate Automation, our scripting solution that allows you to schedule and run time-consuming, repetitive BIM tasks in the background at convenient times, including overnight.

In just 30 minutes, you’ll learn how Ideate Automation addresses the problem caused by file exporting processes that consume computer resources and can negatively impact end-user productivity when performed during working hours. In the webinar, we demonstrate how to:

• Automate IFC exports from Revit using Ideate Automation
• Control the export setup options in Revit and Ideate Automation
• Schedule batch-exports of IFC files using Ideate Automation

Exporting to IFCs is just one of the many capabilities of Ideate Automation. Tasks include:

• Opening large Revit files
• Exporting data for COBie, QTO, or health check metrics
• Exporting document deliverables in PDF, NWC, IFC, or DWG formats

It can also be used to automate time-consuming tasks within Ideate Software addins for Revit, including Ideate BIMLink, Ideate Explorer, Ideate StyleManager, and IdeateApps. 

As a Gold Sponsor of the 2024 AIASF Design Technology Symposium, Ideate Software enjoyed a terrific opportunity to talk with Bay Area professionals in the AEC industries, discuss and demonstrate our products, and learn about the future landscape of design and construction.

While at our booth, Rahul Verma and Moe Kress, both Ideate Software business development managers, answered questions, distributed brochures, handed out the ever popular Ideate Software socks, and led the giveaway of an Autodesk backpack and a box of chocolates from La Meson du Chocolate. They were also pleased to see a former colleague, Vince Dattoli, who worked for Ideate for 12 years before retiring. 

Rahul and Moe also walked the conference room floor, sparking conversations with current as well as prospective customers about projects, technologies used, and how Ideate Software products help similar companies streamline workflows, increase the accuracy of their BIM data, and improve the productivity of their teams.  

Our team is now following up with the many contacts made on topics such as on-site or virtual presentations to overview our products, staff training on specific products and workflows, information on Ideate Automation, and more.
