3.       Extract and export detailed Revit model health and performance data

4.       Automatically generate and export Revit warnings reports

5.       Run annotation clash detection in the background

6.       Create automated CSV reports for Revit family, project, and element metrics

7.       Produce complete document issue records for project tracking and compliance

8.       Generate COBie-compliant data drops for BIM project handover

9.       Automate Revit quantity takeoff generation for cost and material analysis

10.  Perform background spell checks across Revit models without user interruption 

Note: This app uses a custom installer (and not the standard App Store installer).

During the trial period of Ideate Automation, you have full access to create, run, and schedule the scripts found within the Automation Scripts folder. To perform the scripts found within the Ideate Software Scripts folder, a licensed version or an active (not expired) trial of Ideate Software Revit add-ins must be installed.
