If you have Clarity set to Auto Create ACC projects in a specified hub, there are some things you need to be aware of in order for them to actually be created.

You need to be logged in as a Global Admin to make these changes.

Settings

• Server tab, Settings, General tab, BIM360
• If you set this to True, you will want to fill in the name of the hub we will be looking for to create projects from, typically your default hub name.
• You can specify a Project Template to base the new projects off of.
  • The project template is used in a similar fashion as when you create a project in clarity and you copy from "tasks, settings, project parameters, etc. in the user interface.
  • It does not do anything related to the version of the project.
• 

Requirements

• We will use the default Oauth credentials, so that identity must meet the requirements for adding a project to Clarity for that project.

• The Oauth must be valid

• Because Clarity needs to know what version of Revit will be used with a particular BIM360/ACC Project, the default behavior is that it WILL NOT create the Clarity project until there is a Revit model in the project to indicate to Clarity what the Revit version should be.
  • That model should be published.
• Alternatively, there is a low-level monitoring service setting which can force Clarity to immediately create based on a specific version number - which can be changed later if necessary.
  • Keep in mind that this is the version that we will assume tasks should run as!
  • You will need to modify the version used in the project if it is not correct so Revit tasks will process on live models!

Forcing Auto Create for a Set Version of Revit

If you want to force the creation, even if the version is incorrect, you will need to modify a config file on the host.

• Log onto the host as the service account identity.
• You can see the identity that is running the Monitoring Service from the Server tab, Security, General
  • 
• Browse to the following folder on the host.
  • C:\Program Files\IMAGINiT Technologies\Clarity Monitoring Service
• Make a copy of the following config file and rename the extension to .ORIG so we have a copy of the original file in case we need it.
  • 
  • MonitoringService.exe.config
• Modify the config file with Notepad or Notepad++ as shown in my screenshot and set the default version you want to use between the “”
  • 
• You may get a permission error when trying to save the file, if so, do a SaveAs to the desktop then drag it back into the original folder and overwrite the file.
  • Make sure it is set to Save As all types and not to append as txt
  • 
• Restart the Monitoring Service
