Sample Files
There are several Ideate Sticky sample files for Revit modeling available for testing. The sample files are located within the default directory, which is at C:\Program Files\Ideate\Ideate Software [version]\Ideate Sticky\Samples. The Create... button, accessed from main dialog will default to this file path when used within a Revit project where Ideate Sticky has not yet been utilized.
