Publish Revit Model Post Action

The PublishRevitModel task is not creating the dynamic [Date] folder when running the Post Action Move.  The task is "completing with errors" in the fact that the model is being detached and saved to the Publish Folder location, but when it tries to move to the folder called 20190121 (based on [Date]), it fails because the folder does not exist. 

Does this task no longer function with dynamic folder creation?

The Task Server update will be released today.

The Next update will have an option to unzip the A360Download RVTs that are actually zip files.

Just following up on this, when do you expect that update to become available?

I'll send the diagnostics now.

And yes, changing the file extension to .zip allowed me to open it up as a zipped folder.  Looks like it's attaching all links as if it's performing an eTransmit.

Philip,

Have you sent in the task diagnostics for this? I'd like a look in the journal file to see if there's more detail...

Regarding A360Download - can you check something for me... Can you see if one of the files you downloaded is actually a zip with an RVT extension? (rename to ,zip and see if you can open the zip?).

Thanks,

Matt

so the project is in BIM 360 Design so the source is there.  The "target" folder is fine as it is saving the file in the same location that I'm trying to create the dated folder in (project folder\DESIGN\PUBLISH\CLARITY\MODELs\[Date]).

Also, we are using the PublishRevitModel task to download our files from B3D because the A360Download task gives us models that no one can open.  Every time we try, we just get the error "Failed to Open Document."

Philip,

I have confirmed that our Post Task Action should create the target folder if it does not exist.
(it should have created it in this case).

Can you double check the full path of the "source" and "target" folders that are shown in that log and determine if either of the folders do not fully exist (it could somehow be an issue on the source side as well).
