Five Questions to ask when Evaluating Revit Third-Party Add-in Applications
- If the software fails to execute the task, will I know exactly why?
- What is your time worth when trying to troubleshoot errors or warnings with the software?
- Is the software robust enough to handle your largest projects?

- Does the software delight your users?
- Is it clear, concise, productive, and a joy to use to help solve your daily Revit workflow challenges?
- Does the software provide tools and support to help you train your team without much effort?
- If there’s a problem, will you get help from the software developer?
- Does the software you are evaluating save you time and effort?

Our customers are telling us they haven’t seen solutions in the current market that complete many of the workflow gaps in Revit plus also provide the important validation of the data that is so critical to ensure the Revit data is solid, robust, and absolutely correct. That’s the driving force behind the Ideate Software solutions.
Don’t take my word for it. Ask the above questions when you are evaluating software, and the results will be clear.
