How It Works

Ideate Explorer for Revit 2010 gives you an easy, intuitive and profound way to search, quantify and select elements in a Revit BIM. This indispensible tool is developed specifically for the Revit community and works to overcome Revit challenges in Revit® Architecture 2010, Revit® Structure 2010, and Revit® MEP 2010.

Super-intuitive interface

You explore in familiar ways—the way you find tunes in your music collection, locate hard drive files and search via Google. You can find, isolate and view tens of thousands of elements—the way you want. Then narrow your search results fast thanks to a powerful text search engine.


Deep drill-down capability

You can document, quantify, view and sort building elements by category, family, type or level, room and even individual instance. Examine and change your current selection, inspect the current view or the entire project and even build a complex selection from scratch. Zoom to individual building elements and visually explore your model. 10,000+ elements suddenly become completely manageable.


Project Auditing

You can detect the inconsistent use of families with the click of your mouse. As you audit your projects, you can easily implement your preferred graphical or CAD standards. Non-uniformities of style turn into beautiful consistencies with only a few keystrokes.

You can also find hidden elements such as DWGs, isolate them, return to Revit to delete them and then confirm the deletion with Explorer. Think of the hours, uncertainty and file space saved.


Export in seconds

Without fanfare or lost time, you can copy and paste search results to a Microsoft Word® document or Excel® spreadsheet via the clipboard. Generate a quick report or data for presentation.
