Recently I spoke with a client who was wanting to search for elements within their Revit model that belonged to a level. Through the use of Ideate Explorer for Revit we were able to search in the entire project, for elements that belonged to a Level, and the search was specifically for walls. The following steps are used to find walls in the image:Step 1 Indicates that you are looking in the entire Project for the element(s).Step 2 Select that you...

During a recent review of a 16 story hospital project modeled in Revit, our Support team found something with potential to cause untold difficulties down the road. The issue would have gone completely unnoticed until problems arose if our tool Ideate BIMLink had not caught it.The project consists of more than 500 Doors. When we created a Door link using Ideate BIMLink, we found that the ‘Link Properties’ list was showing two ‘Mark’ parameters instead...

“I wish we had known this earlier!” Those were the words the design team uttered when I showed them the “Apply Dependent views” tool as part of a Revit Consulting engagement here at Ideate, Inc. The team did not know the tool existed. It can be a real time-saver!If you are modeling a ten story building in Revit and for plotting purposes, you have to break the views up into multiple parts, you right click on a view and Click: “Duplicate as a Dependent.”...

On a recent tech support day at Ideate, a case was submitted requesting help with creating a topo surface in Revit Architecture from points in an AutoCAD drawing file. There’s no direct way to do this, but there is a very useful AutoCAD tool called Data Extraction that produces a file that Revit can use to create a topo surface.In Revit Architecture, there are two general methods for creating a topo surface. From the Massing and Site tab’s...

As the Support Dispatcher at Ideate Inc. I have seen a surge of cases that center around printing in AutoCAD. In particular we have customers who are unable to print because their .CTB files are missing. Usually this has been caused by the drawing being set to use .STB files for printing instead of .CTBs. Here are the differences between the two and the particulars of switching a drawing from one type to the other. CTB PlottingMost users are familiar...

During support at Ideate, there are a lot of questions and a little bit of confusion over this topic, so I decided to blog about it. More and more customers have been requesting information on how they can work with Point Cloud or Lidar data within their Autodesk products. Depending on which application you’re using, the Point Cloud and Lidar functionality may be completely different. And, Point Clouds and Lidar Data are two different things.LIDAR...

We had a support case from a client who was trying to use Shared Coordinates on their project but kept crashing the project. Upon closer inspection of the project, they had found that they had deleted the Project Base Point and the Survey Point for their Revit project. Now you cannot simply highlight these items and delete them, the process is a little more involved.When a Revit project is opened to using Worksharing, Grid lines and Layers are assigned...
