    Input Nodes as User Interface for Clarity

    Sachin Menon · 2 · Last reply by Matt Mason

    Hi,

    i would like to know if the Input Nodes in dynamo( prefixed with "Input") as per the PDF./help document is more sort of indicator that these nodes are input for users understanding or can they be used as a user interface on clarity server, so that when the task is created & executed, the server will provide with the UI option to specify the values or data set as per the input nodes defined in dynamo script.

    for example in the image attached, either the excel file path can be a UI option or if its a file path

    Task Queue Not Reflecting Active Tasks

    Holden Fleck · 2 · Last reply by Matt Mason

    Our Clarity environment has been running into what seems to be a task saturation issue lately, meaning we have too many tasks in the queue each day for our task machines to complete before they time out in a "New" status. Around 70% of our tasks each day are timing out at this point.

    I would expect this if I had suddenly added a heavy load of projects at some point, but I have not. This issue of tasks not being run on time just popped up around the time where we updated from Clarity 2022 to 2022.1.

    'view/sheet set to print' from task sequence under shared laubchable parameters showing only 'ALL SHEETS'

    Yavor K. · 1 · Last reply by Matt Mason

    Created Launchable Task sequence for one revit file,  so the users can select which sheet set to export, under Launchable parameters --> ‘Shared’ selected 'view/sheet set to print'. When run the task that parameter drop down shows only ‘'ALL SHEETS' so user cannot select anything.

    Second issue is  If I click on the dots next to 'view/sheet set to print' --> ‘View Expression/SheetSet Selection’ I cannot select any of the check boxes, have to cancel and reopen to be able to select.

    AutoCAD to PDF via ProjectWise

    Paul Patterson · 0 · Posted

    Hi There,

    I'm trying to print dwg's that are stored in ProjectWise to PDF's. 

    However, when attempting to select, or filter for the input files, i'm prompted with an empty dialog (see attached)

    In this scenario - are we able to pull the files directly from PW? or do they need to exported to a common location first?

    Thanks in advance

    Keynote Usage Report

    Hana Nguyenky · 0 · Posted

    In the Keynote Usage Report, is there a way to use the Element ID's of elements in drafting views to also include their data in the report? The reports I've been generating only include keynotes used in modeled views. It would be more helpful to get a comprehensive count and location of all keynotes used in the file for QA & QC of a document set.

    Make task server version upgrades happen through the server just like minor updates

    It would be great if task servers could pull their version upgrades from the Clarity server just like they do for minor updates!  This would be a nice time saver.

  • Clarity 2022.1 Installer Issue: Mitigated

    Matt Mason · 0 · Posted

    Last week we reported that a percentage of customers encountered an issue during installation which was causing their Clarity web application to not work after install. Root Cause: During an upgrade install, the Clarity Host Installer issued a command to stop all of the Microsoft IIS services—to ensure that no files are in-use when we attempt to remove/replace/upgrade them. For some customers, this command either:

    In these cases, the DLLs for the web application did not get properly replaced, and it caused issues after the installation. NOTE: If you successfully installed the software, and your web application worked—then there is

    All emails from Clarity should be controllable and controls should be documented

    Ken Etter · 1 · Last reply by Matt Mason

    We had a user report that she was receiving "changed Revit build" notifications.  She did not want to receive those but the only way we could find to stop them was to stop all emails on her Clarity account.  Clarity needs to have a more granular and/or documented approach to email notifications so we know how to control the notifications.

    Administrator User Disabled

    Nick Bower · 10 · Last reply by Nick Bower

    We keep seeing that our Clarity Administrator User keeps becoming disabled.  When this happens Clarity no longer runs any tasks.

    We were going to upgrade to the newest version to see if that resolved the issue, but saw the email about the issue with 2022.1 and did not.  We are still a bit behind either way.  Below is our Server Version.

    The Task Servers are on Build 2022.0.10.0   

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks

    C4R Publish not Publishing BIM 360 Forge Error

    Bruce Gunderson · 0 · Posted

    While watching the Task Server it shows success and complete but is not publishing the model. It gives a BIM 360 Forge Error. 

    on the Task Server I opened Revit and navigated to the model and was able to publish manually so the authorization is working for the signed in clarity user. Not sure how to reauthorize the BIM 360 Forge access. Is this an issue with the token?

    Thanks,

    Hello, I would like to know what are the rules for measuring '# of Views' an '# of Views not on Sheets'. The number showed by Clarity is much bigger than what I can find in Revit after summing up all views, schedules and legends together. Any ideas? Thanks

    Navisworks conversion task

    When I run this tasks and it times out it still processes the post action task. It would be better to not process the post action tasks as it could be operating on an incomplete file or the old version.

    Navisworks Export, Name Result File without Detached

    Mike Underwood · 1 · Last reply by Matt Mason

    Is there a way to export nwc where the source filename/path reflects the actual central model, and not the "-detached" version?

    The problem is that when trying to use Navisworks Switchback, the link to the Revit model is broken because the source file path contains the -detached suffix when the nwc is exported, so Navis and Revit cannot complete the Switchback connection.

    Is there a setting I'm missing?  Thanks!
