Will Clarity get the ability to set the file format that NWDs and NWCs are saved in for Navis 2026? This is a new property setting.

Has anyone ever experienced an issue when exporting from Revit to Navisworks where the links within the model don't export, even though the 'Export Links' option was set to 'Yes'? The linked models are located on the accessible Cloud, also the Autodesk desktop connector already connected and available.  but the links still fail to export

Is it possible to edit a schedule or data sheet directly in the browser or in excel and have the updates pushed back to Revit when using Clarity - through reports or data sheets? or a task automation?

You can set recovery options on the Clarity services so that they automatically restart if they stop.

The Clarity Services on the host and the Clarity Windows Task Server, will need their properties modified to Automatically restart if the service stops, otherwise someone will need to log onto the machine and manually restart them.

The Host services:

• Clarity Monitoring Service
• Clarity Active Directory Synch
• Clarity Journaling Service

The Task Server service

• Clarity Windows Task Server

How to Set the Service Properties

In the Services dialog, select the Clarity Service, right-click and select Properties.  In the example I am showing the

How can I control visibility of task timeline to be visible to project users?

Is it only available for admins? 

Can we add a setting to the AutoCAD script task that will check the date of each file before it opens and only process files that have been modified in the last X days. Number of days to be determined by the users. Something similar to the Unified sync task filter by date option. We have to process a number of large dwg files but not all of them have changes from week to week. 

Can we add a task for Clarity to make Data Model API queries to complement the Database Export, so we can warehouse and use this information using the same project OData connection? We are impressed by how efficiently Data Model queries work but struggle with warehousing and processing the results without a lot of development work.

I'd like to configure Clarity to use Entra to manage users and groups vs. an on-premise active directory server.   We are moving away from on-premise servers and eventually our user accounts will no longer be hybrid and will exist only in the cloud. 

Can clarity get the ability to tell when a Windows task server is not logged in? We have occasion when a pc will restart during the night for some reason. When this happens that pc will start picking up windows tasks and the Navis and AutoCAD tasks will fail if the service account is not logged in. This causes a large number or tasks to fail since the failed tasks only take a minute to run and then the task server it will try to pick up another task that it will not be able do. 

You want to update add-ins or revit versions to keep things consistent with Autodesk, problem is doing so can break certain task or add-in functionality. Please publish the supported add-in's or revit versions based on the Clairty Server software version so we do not break the tasks. We unfortunately will not know until tasks fail.

Some tasks in the clarity menu are a mess from a order perspective and from a general naming perspective. Can someone go through and name things to their proper names like BIM360 to BIM360/ACC, perhaps use better task descriptive task naming convention and put things in alphabetical order.

Ex..

Navisworks file Convert Versus Navisworks Revit File convert would be a way better descriptive name.

We need a Clarity task for downloading/ scheduling bluebeam studio session content. Clarity can clearly do for uploads but we need to ensure that when bluebeams cloud service goes down that we still have some sort of access to the documents on this. I'm thinking the task could be unified sync to server so we maintain copies of information until the studio session gets closed out. 

Introduction

These prerequisites are required for all types of Clarity host.

This guide does not cover the full configuration and operation of the software – merely the host prerequisites.

Hardware/Operating System Requirements

Clarity requires a server-class Windows Server operating system to be the central web server. 

A dedicated server is highly recommended.  Whether you will be using Revit Server in your environment or not, the prerequisites are the same for Clarity, so the System requirements below should be referenced.

I highly recommend that you go with the Performance requirements, but no less than the Value for either circumstance of concurrent users.

Projects must be stored on a physical drive meeting the requirements below.  NAS or

When using formulas and codes to concatenate an output filename the inclusion of 'show example output' to test those concatenations would be handy, especially when trying to use 'regex' or 'sql' variables

The ability to export to DXF just like DWG. 

The RandRevit database is the core of everything in Clarity, including projects, tasks, and more.

There is an option in the Clarity Server Settings to automatically backup the RandRevit database weekly to the backup location specified in settings.

Why you might need to backup the database

• You need to make changes to the database
• You need to send it to development to look over
• Disaster recovery
• Server migration

What you will need:

• Remote Access to the machine where the database lives (typically the same as your Clarity Host).
• Be able to sign in with your Clarity Service account (or perhaps the

The DWG task is a Revit Task Server task to export DWGs from the Revit model.

They will be exported in the default version of Autocad set up in the Revit model Export Settings if a specific version is not specified in the task setup.

This would be the version you would see when you export manually from Revit by default.

Above the Line Settings

These are the same as all other tasks and can be referenced in this blog post:  https://imaginit.helprace.com/i746-clarity-task-basics-setup-above-the-line

Worksets:  All or those specifically needed to produce the dwgs if you want to be selective.

Hello,

I'd like to ask that the Model Score that is calculated in Model Metrics gets reported to the Model Score column in the ModelMetricSummary table so that it can be pulled into a Power BI report.

Thank you,

Sometimes, a Revit session hangs on a task server machine, but the associated task monitor continues running. Even though the task has already been canceled on the Clarity host and appears in the Completed list with an Error status, the task server still treats it as active. As a result, it becomes blocked and cannot pick up new tasks.

To handle this, I usually check each running task on the task server and compare it with the Current Tasks list. If a task is running on the server but not listed in Current Tasks, I manually terminate it. This process

It would be great to be able to switch to an alternative model metrics view that shows the data transposed (models as columns, metrics as rows).

The number of metrics by far exceeds the number of models and a lot of folks prefer scrolling vertically (or maybe it's just me).

So I modified the Model Metrics page but it will probably be overwritten with each host server update... I'd be happy to share my modified version of the Model Metrics page.
