Webinar Recording - Automate IFC Exports from Revit

If you spend a lot of time waiting for Revit to export data into IFC files, you’ll want to watch the recording of this webinar on Ideate Automation, our scripting solution that allows you to schedule and run time-consuming, repetitive BIM tasks in the background at convenient times, including overnight.


In just 30 minutes, you’ll learn how Ideate Automation addresses the problem caused by file exporting processes that consume computer resources and can negatively impact end-user productivity when performed during working hours. In the webinar, we demonstrate how to:


  1. Automate IFC exports from Revit using Ideate Automation
  2. Control the export setup options in Revit and Ideate Automation
  3. Schedule batch-exports of IFC files using Ideate Automation

Exporting to IFCs is just one of the many capabilities of Ideate Automation. Tasks include:


  • Opening large Revit files
  • Exporting data for COBie, QTO, or health check metrics
  • Exporting document deliverables in PDF, NWC, IFC, or DWG formats


It can also be used to automate time-consuming tasks within Ideate Software addins for Revit, including Ideate BIMLinkIdeate ExplorerIdeate StyleManager, and IdeateApps.
