Preserved Schedule Formatting:

  • Export schedules to Excel while retaining their original formatting and order.

Editable Data Export:

  • Export schedules in a format optimized for data management. This mode allows you to make changes in Excel and import the updated data back into your Revit project.

Using Sheet Bridge:

  • Start 3D Views to IFC tool
