Can you tell me if "Publish" in this context means Publish in BIM360 or Publish in terms of ISO19650. It seems to be the latter but I want to achieve the former

Had a unique issue happen for the first time in ever.... almost all of our BIM 360 Backup tasks failed yesterday. They all use the same naming convention:

\\\shared\projects\\[Project]\clarity\BIM 360 Backup

we use this convention on MANY tasks, but last night over 50+ of our BIM 360 backup projects failed. Many however created these lovely " [Project] " folders on our server that once explored have BIM 360 backups in them.

I moved the backups to their correct folder and cleaned everything up. but these same tasks have been running for months without issue until last night.

The only thing

Could we get the error type shown in the dashboard? 

Issue

Error when trying to add a 360 project and prerequisites have already been done.

There are no BIM360 - Unified Projects found

Resolution

Check the following files on the host

• C:\Program Files\IMAGINiT Technologies\Clarity Monitoring Service\ClarityMonitoringService.exe.config
• C:\inetpub\wwwroot\CentralAdministrator\Web.config

  <system.net>

    <defaultProxy>

      <proxy bypassonlocal="True" usesystemdefault="False"/>

    </defaultProxy>

  </system.net>

Change the highlighted text above to “True”, and then restart the monitoring service.

You can increase productivity by running some of your tasks with Worksets set to None.  This will improve the open time, dramatically in some cases, depending on the size of the file and the number of links.

Below is a list of tasks that can run with worksets set to None without impacting the output from the task.

Issue:

Port changes with new email sending library called MailKit.

Cause:

Customers were starting to run into occasional issues where we had problem sending email with TLS/SSL, and because it was related to a Microsoft Component for sending mail that they’ve deprecated. In Clarity 2022 we brought in a new email sending library called “MailKit”.

It turns out that Mailkit behaves a bit differently than the original Microsoft component.

- It basically ignores the “Use SSL” option you specify, and infers the setting from the port number. MailKit said: “You do not have a valid certificate for this mail server”.

During a very importnat deadline last week. One of our files was shwon as Deleted in the Activity Stream on Clarity, it is hosted on BIM 360, we have had no problems with this file until now. I could not find the file anywhere to include in tasks. Why did this happen and how do I prevent it from happening again?

We are constantly running automated model checks and publications, which fail due to simple things that the admin can take care of, but all users assigned to that project are getting notified. So we turn off their email notifications, which then causes them to not receive emails when they run tasks themselves.

Please make sure you have your Authorization code prior to starting the upgrade. 

ANNUAL LICENSES

If you have annual licenses let us know the activation count needs to be reset.  Please provide your current authcode which can be found in the IMAGINiT.lic file on the task server in this folder:  C:\Program Files\IMAGINiT Technologies\Clarity Task Server for Revit\License

Email us that information at Support@rand.com

INSTALL PROCESS

1. On the task servers log in as the designated Clarity account.
2. Make sure the new version of Revit is already installed, including addins needed for tasks.
   1. Revit 2023-24 only supported OS is Windows 10 or

Please be aware:  If you have Clarity with Revit Server, the Clarity Host install will need to be done off hours when no one is accessing the models.  If you have Clarity with just file based and or 360 projects, then you can do the install at any time.

While the upgrade is not as easy as our “patching” updates, it’s not too hard. These are “setup.exe” installations, and if you follow the instructions below, you are unlikely to run into any issues.

If you don't feel comfortable doing the upgrade yourself and would like to have us assist you

I think including the median hours saved in the monthly report would provide a little more context to the monthly report. Providing just the mean implies a symmetrical dataset which I can only assume is not exactly the case. I would guess it's not a perfect bell curve. So, if we could get the median it might provide a little more nuance to understanding where the "average" firm sits in the dataset.

Autodesk has previously announced that they are discontinuing support for a Forge API used to upload models to BIM360. They are basically stepping out of the middle, and encouraging all Forge developers to upload directly to Amazon S3. This discontinuance is planned for September 30, 2022. (interested in more info? See Here)

In order to be fully supported for all features of integration with BIM360, you must be updated to at least the following Clarity Updates to not encounter problems (depending on your Clarity version):

Older versions are not currently planned to be supported.

Updates are applied by running the

Issue:

The log files are rolling over too fast to help with troubleshooting.  When we request diagnostics for a task that ran into an issue, these logs, along with the journal if it is a Revit task are what we use to determine what happened.  If they are out of date, we can't see what happened.  Changing the configuration to larger files and/or more will cover a larger time span.

Solution:

Increase the file size and/or the number of logs.

There are three different types of logs, they record different information based on the type of task.  The log configuration

You are replacing a task server, but you don’t know the process for doing so.

Solution

Contact our support team at support@rand.com and let us know the name of the machine being retired and the authcode in the current license file so we can reset the activation count.

The task server license file is located in the following folder on the task server.

C:\Program Files\IMAGINiT Technologies\Clarity Task Server for Revit\License

We need the 16 digit code, it will look something like this: 1234-ABCD-5678-EFGH

Hello, Im working on a clarity Excel sheet. Once I upload it and attempt to launch 'spaces by generic model' I get an error that reads... "The requirement id parameter: Requirementid was not found on this rooms element (3976307)?" Any help is appreciated while I trouble shoot what is wrong with the requiredID. Thanks!

Minor issue with an easy workaround, but TaskCommandTester.Command.Execute should check if commandData.Application.ActiveUIDocument is null and provide a more meaningful error message rather than "a NullReferenceException occurred".

Yes, a task has an option for e-mail notification. But I want to notify a specific person about a specific task result.

Typically a project has tons of tasks, like printing PDFs, sending files, etc. And typically the user list for a project contains many person which are mostly designers who are responsible for such massive tasks. They all get notifications about tasks if that option is activated for tasks. 

Let's say I have a specific task, i.e. "clash report" which result I want to send to a project manager. Currently I need to include the PM to users list.

I have a user that is trying to create a Folder with the [FullDate] keyword in the path during a post task action. This is the path in the task:

This is the resulting path created. We have tried [FullDate] and [Full Date].

We can fix this by using the [Custom(yyyy_MM__dd)] keyword but I thought you should know the [fulldate] keyword doesn't appear to be working as expected.

We have additional object data linked from a database in our federated Navisworks model however the data is not held when we run the Navisworks Conversion Task.

If the file was exported manually the following option would be chosen thus exporting the data,

I see many ideas already implemented. Would be nice not having them for voting.
