SUPPORT - ARTICLE | This question was asked by an Ideate Explorer customer: “How do I find all Revit elements assigned to a Design Option within my Revit model?” Here is our response.

TRAINING - ARTICLE | Ideate Explorer is great at hundreds of model auditing and model management tasks. One common use involves using the Ideate Query function within Ideate Explorer to find in-place families. In-place families are not parametric and are limited in the amount of the parameters they can contain. Also, excessive in-place families can cause the Revit model size to increase because unlike component families, they are actually duplicated for each placement.

SUPPORT – ARTICLE | A customer asked if he could find all the overridden dimensions with one of the Ideate Software solutions. In fact, he can review overridden dimensions in both Ideate BIMLink and Ideate Explorer.

SUPPORT - ARTICLE | Select Legends and then, within the Query feature of Ideate Explorer, use the new ‘Sheet Count’ property to determine whether the legend has been placed.
