IP Ivo P. BIM Coordinator & Information Manager Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 9/20/2022 "Excellent plugin! Saved me a ton of time and effort." 5/5 What do you like best about Ideate Software? Ability to quickly navigate through the Revit model, identify the elements you need, and find out what other elements are associated with. It also cleans a lot of elements not accessible through Revit OOTB. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Ideate Software? Sometimes it takes long time for Style Manager to load some graphical elements like materials or line patterns. The X Ray tool is also a little bit confusing to figure out. Other than that, it's great! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Ideate Software solving and how is that benefiting you? Mostly, it has to do with auditing and cleaning Revit models. Ideate explorer allows us quickly identify elements associated with Warnings, locate them and resolve the warning. Style Manager allows us to purge various graphic categories. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
