Introduction to Point File Converter from CIM Project Suite
Dealing with multiple survey code lists can be a challenge. Perhaps your crews use one code list and you need to import as another. Perhaps you get outside surveys that need converting to your firm’s code list. Either way, Point File Converter allows quick conversions from one code list to another in your point files. Users can create “translation files” that map the conversion from one list to another so conversions only take seconds.
Learning Objectives:
- Convert point files from one standard to another in seconds
- Accommodate both survey and linework coding translations
- Make your crews happy by using only one code list in the field
- Save tons of time in dealing with multiple code list standards

Introduction to Plotter/Exporter from the BIM Batch Suite
Since Revit doesn’t have a quality built-in batch printing or file exporting tool, this process can be quite tedious without some kind of add-in. The Plotter&Exporter is purpose built to facilitate much both tasks, and it can be run in batch on multiple models. This introduction webinar will demonstrate how to configure and run Plotter&Exporter on multiple projects.
Learning Objectives:
- Accessing Family Processor
- Introduction to Interface
- Identify View Selection Techniques
- Execute On-Demand or Scheduled Plots

Introduction to Schedule XL from the BIM Project Suite
Unfortunately, Revit has no native way to import Excel Spreadsheets. Spreadsheet Link allows this process to be straightforward and significantly more efficient. This webinar will demonstrate how Spreadsheet Link can be used to generate both Revit Schedules and drafting views directly from spreadsheets and keep those references up to date with no effort.
Learning Objectives:
- Accessing Schedule XL
- Introduction to Interface
- Generating Spreadsheet Associations
- Refreshing Updated Spreadsheets in Revit

Introduction to Sheet Generator from CIM Project Suite
Sheet Generator will create Plan and/or Profile sheets, similar to the native Viewframes toolset, but allows dynamic updating of sheets. Users will be able to create “Viewshapes” in Modelspace, then edit them and “push” changes to sheets. Viewport size and position, Profile Views, north arrow, sheet numbering, Matchline text and more, are all dynamically linked to Modelspace “Viewshapes”. Brian Levendowski from CTC will show off this awesome tool included in the CIM Project Suite.
Learning Objectives:
- Create dynamically-linked Plan and/or Profile sheets
- Update sheets by editing “Viewshapes” in Modelspace
- Automatic updating of Viewports, Profiles Views, Sheet Set Fields, Matchlines, and more
- Automatic Profile Matchline placement & setting of Profile Station/Elevation

Introduction to Data Wizard from CIM Project Suite
Create project-specific legends and quantity takeoffs of both AutoCAD and Civil 3D objects. Data Wizard will scan drawings and create a dynamic legend, including text and symbology. Objects can include Blocks, Cogo & Survey, Points, Multileaders, Hatches, Lines, 2D & 3D Polylines, Survey Figures, Feature Lines, Parcel Segments, and Alignments. Legend and quantify takeoff settings can be saved in different templates for quick and easy execution by end users.
Learning Objectives:
- Creates project-specific legends or quantity takeoffs of AutoCAD and Civil 3D objects
- Specify one or more drawings, or limit to a sheet, and scan for chosen objects types
- Objects include all AutoCAD and Civil 3D point, line and area-type objects
- Save template files for easy creation of legends or takeoffs in the future

Introduction to Shared Parameter Manager from the BIM Manager Suite
As a BIM Manager, you have better things to do with your time than to manually track down shared parameter files and issues. While the Shared Parameter Manager will not find files for you, once you have them, it will compare and help in the merging if appropriate. Additionally, you can manage parameters in the SP file more easily by updating naming conventions using individual updates or with a convenient find/replace. This Webinar will introduce you to the major functionality, allowing you to discover a better way to manage your shared parameter file.
Learning Objectives:
- Accessing Shared Parameter Manager
- Introduction to Interface
- Compare Multiple Shared Parameter Files
- Update Parameter Names
