What it covers
Ideate automation and ExportHub (November 12)
Steve Deadman walks through ExportHub and Ideate Automation, two tools aimed at getting data and exports out of Revit models on a schedule instead of by hand. Useful if your team spends evenings batch exporting sheets or schedules.
Single-line diagrams in Revit (November 18)
David Robison of Design Master shows how ElectroBIM builds electrical single-line diagrams directly from the Revit model, so the diagram follows design changes rather than being redrawn. The session is free.
CTC Family Loader and Dimension Checker (November 19 and December 3)
Two one-hour introductions from CTC Software. Family Loader handles loading many families at once from a library; the tool itself is free. Dimension Checker flags dimensions whose values have been overridden, a common source of drawing errors.
SOFiSTiK: structure and bridges (December 1 and December 9)
The December 1 session, run with BiMOTiON in Italian, covers structural analysis from within Revit. The December 9 session, in English, presents SOFiSTiK’s bridge design workflow; registrants receive the recording by email.
IdeateApps documentation (December 10)
Graitec and Ideate return with IdeateApps, including ViewCreator, for teams that want to cut the repetitive part of sheet and view setup.
Who should attend
BIM managers and documentation leads will get the most from the Ideate and CTC sessions. Electrical designers should look at the Design Master webinar, and structural and bridge engineers at the two SOFiSTiK sessions.
