Tracer

Tracer extracts data from Autodesk Revit® and IFC models for use in Business Intelligence platforms. The included 2D and 3D visuals for Microsoft Power BI™ create interactive views of your BIM for dashboards and presentations.

Tracer for Revit includes an add-in that allows users to export Revit geometry and parameter data to a database.
Tracer for IFC supports exporting IFC BIM data authored in applications including Archicad, Revit, Tekla, and more.

Tracer v3’s features include support for:
+ Large datasets
+ Responsive orbiting and interaction
+ Conditional formatting
+ Face and edge visual settings
+ Lighting options for shaded views
+ Wireframe and ghosted options
+ Separate controls for context objects

The Power BI Tracer visual can be used to create interactive 2D vector graphics and 3D geometry within a dashboard report.

Tracer’s no-code, drag-and-drop Power BI visuals work independently of other programs. Its setup, properties, and controls are local to your device.

The Tracer visual uses data fields for “on demand” visualization and responds to report filters and other Power BI interactions.

Tracer connects your BIM data to Business Intelligence platforms, like PowerBI, to help project teams make informed decisions that lead to better outcomes.
