    Automate Design Collaboration on BIM360

    It would be extremely beneficial if Clarity could create, share, and consume packages through Design Collaboration on BIM360.

    Trimble Connect Support

    Yigitcan Karanfil · 0 · Posted

    It would be great to have support for downloading/uploading from Trimble Connect directly. It's been our main platform for sharing files for several months now and it does have API access. Considering this is a construction oriented file sharing platform with online IFC viewing capabilities, having the option to interface with it directly would be great. 

    Trimble has Trimble Connect Sync which can sync folders but I find that it's not the greatest tool and having to use multiple tools creates more failure points in an automation system.

    Add Model Metrics for # of Models Linked by Internal & <Not Shared>

    Liam Cummings · 1 · Last reply by Mike Underwood

    If we had a Model Metric for the number of models linked by Internal and another for those linked by <Not Shared>, we could use the Task to check how many models could be affected by updates to Shared Coordinates and which ones need to be adjusted before making updates.

    Delete Claimed Tasks

    When viewing the Current Tasks, be able to delete Claimed tasks without waiting for the task to be running in a Revit session on the task processor.

    Many times I was to kill a task from the Current Task page but get a dialog saying "The selected task cannot be deleted"

    Publish Settings List Report

    Timothy Brummett · 0 · Posted

    I'd love to be able to export a list of models with their named sets of Publish Settings. I could then see if there are any missing or misspelled sets the Print Range Clarity is looking for when exporting dwg's or pdf's.

    Visibility on Server Availability During Task Creation

    Liam Cummings · 0 · Posted

    Providing a heat map for server availability and peak times would help us balance our task load across servers more effectively. If this information was available at the point of task creation, admins could select the times when they knew their tasks were most likely to succeed. The heat map should be viewable as daily or weekly based on all currently scheduled tasks on the network.

    More Granular Control of Email Notifications

    Dave Baldacchino · 1 · Last reply by Brooke Peterson

    We automatically assign all our Design Technology Managers as Project Coordinators (global role) so they can see and support any project. Because of the hundreds of tasks that run everyday, we were forced to turn off the "Receives e-mails" setting for these accounts. Unfortunately that disables every single email, but we would like to have granular control of notifications in order to receive emails about:

    1. Failed tasks
    2. Dormant projects

    I filed a case with support (Case 00716746) as I was not sure whether dormant project notifications were part of this setting, and it turns out that it is. The suggested

    Number of Revits

    Would be great if we can decide the maximum Number of Revits we want for each project, due to not all of them have same size.

    Report when models need Coordination Review

    Peter DeRooy · 2 · Last reply by Lee Hammarback

    Since Clarity may be opening models to create PDF exports sometimes that model reports a Coordination Review is required.

    Report this back to the host to alert the model manager to go check out why and do the Coordination Review.

    Take PDF output from Revit using Clarity and then upload to the Plans folder in BIM360

    Mike Rohwer · 4 · Last reply by Matt Mason

    https://forge.autodesk.com/en/docs/bim360/v1/tutorials/document-management/upload-document/

    It would be great if on a schedule Clarity could take PDF output of sheets and then upload against the Plans folder and not the Project Files folder.

    "It looks like the requested service is currently unavailable. Please try again." Dialog

    Dan Warren · 2 · Last reply by Dave Baldacchino

    I just happened to be looking at a task server when this error window popped up. I watched the machine for a little while to see if it would suppress this dialog. It didn't, so, I clicked OK and then it resumed the task.

    Is Clarity able to suppress this dialog? It didn't appear the task would move forward had I not intervened. I also don't think this dialog is much more than a nuisance.

    Open IFC models and save as RVT

    Frank Bolha · 1 · Last reply by Andrew Beazley

    Would be nice to have a task for opening IFC models and saving as an RVT. This would come in handy for projects where architects are working in ArchiCAD or other applications outside of Revit where the native files for Revit would be IFC. Manually doing a conversion of IFC to RVT can take some time for users, so automation of this type of work will benefit projects where external parties are working in applications outside of Revit and we are using Revit. 

    This could be something along the lines of updating the Model Upgrader task to look for both

    Add Update NWF File Task

    Mike Smith · 2 · Last reply by Derek Becher

    Add task to be able to update NWF file with exported NWC files on a daily basis.  The only current option is to create a new NWF file which doesn't help when needing an up-to-date NWF file everyday.  The current task option will remove saved viewpoints, search sets, clash tests, etc.

    All the task would need to do is open the NWF file > update NWC files (which Navisworks does upon opening) > Save the file > Close.

    Don't reset filter/sort settings on task list

    Sam Sampoux · 2 · Last reply by Brooke Peterson

    I often filter the list of all tasks from all projects, but whenever I run/edit/copy a task, the filter setting gets reset, and I have to refilter again, and again, and again. This is not an efficient setup. Please disable the reset. If a user knows how to apply a filter, they would also know to reset that filter if/when desired. This also happens to sorting. I sort the list based on Frequency for instance, then click Run on a task. The page refreshes and my sort preference is no longer set.

    Thanks,

    Modify Tasks En Masse

    Holden Fleck · 2 · Last reply by Evgeny Kurbatov

    Wouldn't it be great to be able to modify tasks in groups?

    We have multiple tasks with the exact same settings and names across at least 150 projects. It would be very nice to be able to modify tasks by type, as opposed to just instance (to use Revit lingo). 

    Maybe there could be a "Tags" field for tasks? Then we could manage the primary task settings (the ones on top) by type, name, and/or tag.

    This would be a big time saver! To my knowledge, if I have to make a change to a task shared by many projects,

    Select-DeSelect All Days in Task Schedule

    Mike Underwood · 0 · Posted

    It would be swell if there was a Select All and a De-Select All option for task schedule days. When you change from On Demand to Scheduled, all of the day checkboxes are activated. One example use-case:  If I need to create a bunch of tasks that run one day per week, I spend a bit of time un-checking check boxes.  Be nice to click a "Uncheck All" and then check the one day I need.

    See attached image.

    Add Revit Version Column to Task Tables

    Maya Mashiach · 1 · Last reply by Matt Mason

    It would be useful to be able to see and filter our tasks (completed and current) by the Revit Version of the project being run. 

    This would allow us to gauge how many projects are running through each version of Revit in task load across projects.
