BIM Frame

Frame for Excel turns every BIM model into a live, filterable Excel dataset—so project teams can explore, edit, and visual-analyze building information faster than ever.

What you can do

• Drag-and-drop PivotTables from model data—instantly slice quantities, costs, or statuses by level, trade, or any custom parameter.
• Export, enrich, and create properties—pull existing element parameters into sheets, add new columns (e.g., cost code, install crew), then push them back to Revit®/IFC with one click.
• Build smart selection tables—choose exactly which properties to show, save the layout as a template, and share it across projects.
• Bidirectional filtering—apply a filter in Excel and see the 3D viewer isolate the matching elements; pick objects in the viewer and watch the rows highlight in the sheet.
• Cell-based color linking—set conditional colors in Excel; the same palette appears on the model, perfect for heat-mapping cost variance or install status.

Who benefits

• BIM/VDC Managers—eliminate CSV exports; govern data centrally.
• Cost & Commercial Teams—pivot quantities vs. latest unit prices for real-time budget snapshots.
• Planners & Schedulers—link P6 or MS Project activity IDs to elements and visualize slippage instantly.
• Field Engineers—color-code cells to flag installed vs. pending items and sync to the model for walk-downs.
• Owners / FM Teams—add O&M attributes in bulk and push them straight into the digital twin.

Key features

• Secure OAuth connection to your Frame workspace—no local Revit required.
• Supports Revit, Navisworks, IFC, and all Excel 365 editions (Desktop, Web, Mac).
