    filter options

    Brooke Peterson · 0 · Posted

    Across the life cycle of our projects, the Filename (a.k.a. Target) often changes slightly depending on whether the file remains national or a state based file among other things. It would be really helpful if we had a way to filter files in my completed tasks list by "Contains" instead of "equals"? Or - can i check multiple in the filter list? 

    Also applies to when i want to know what tasks have been run on a particular file name but the path(project) might have been different. e.g. 

  • How to Edit a 360 Project in Clarity

    To Change the Version of Revit in the Project

    If you need to change the version of Revit used for the project select update version. 

    This will not upgrade models, it simply sets the version of Revit used to perform tasks.

    On the Project Type tab, select Update

    filter a door table

    Dave Peterson · 2 · Last reply by Matt Mason

    I'd like to filter a door table that I'm adding to a Data sheet.  We have nested door panels in our assembled door families.  Currently when I make a Door Table, it's showing the individual nested door families as well as the overall assemble family.  We have used the "Appears In Schedule" parameter to filter out the panels in our Revit Door schedule, I'd like the ability to do the same in our door tables that we've added to our data sheets.  

    I've looked at the help menu and I see an option to filter Category Tables, but I don't

    Unable to use Bentley IMS login

    Edward · 2 · Last reply by Edward

    In the help docs it specifies the following "On the Clarity Task Server, we have begun to support Bentley IMS Accounts"; however when updating the task server configuration to activate the "Use ProjectWise IMS Login" option, it fails to login with IMS and attempts a user/password login.

    Perhaps this is due to the web server settings that do not appear to have a method to disassociate a logical account from the web server project authorization settings, there are only options for user/password credentials. Any new project created will use the default setting and attempting to add a credential without a

    Clarity version 2024 not allowing ProjectWise username prefaced with an underscore?

    Edward · 1 · Last reply by Edward

    Our company standards dictate that all our ProjectWise service accounts are prefaced with "_" and we have never had an issue with 2023 version of Clarity... However after upgrading to 2024 it appears that this introduces errors within the latest version 2024?

    Personally I've never had any issue using the ProjectWise API with these usernames before; however the Clarity software seems to cause significant errors with Connection Client software licensing in this latest version... Can we please get this bug patched instead of just writing a warning and pretending that the problem is within the ProjectWise API?

    Thanks, Ed

    Multiple ClarityPDF Drivers

    Holden Fleck · 3 · Last reply by Matt Mason

    I've been noticing a bottleneck in the scalability of Clarity as a PDF automation tool. You can increase the number of Revit sessions that can run at one time on your task machines, and you can vary the PDF drivers to allow for each session to run PDFs simultaneously. However, varying the drivers only makes sense if you're ok with not having the PDFs coming from Clarity follow the same standard.

    Our use case requires all PDFs to be printed as individual sheets, which requires us to have the naming be consistent and clean. Only the Clarity PDF driver does

    Is it possible to change the Check Engine symbol?

    Eric Stimmel · 1 · Last reply by Matt Mason

    We like the ability to flag projects with low Model Scores, but some of our team members do not appreciate the humor of the icon and would prefer something more banal like a red octagon. Is there a way for us to specify a symbol or can we request an additional setting for this?

  • Clarity Task Error - Maximum Request Length Exceeded

    Sherry Pittman · 1 · Last reply by Matt Mason

    Update:  10/1/2024 with preferred method

    Error That error means that the file is too large to send back to the host via http so the config file needs to be modified to allow for larger file sizes. Task Error There was an exception running the extensions specified in the config file. ---> Maximum request length exceeded. If you exceed the default maximum file size which is 400000 you will need to fix a config file to accommodate processing larger file sizes, or enable uploading in chunks (preferred method).

  • Clarity Revit Database Export Settings

    Sherry Pittman · 0 · Posted

    The Revit DBExport task is the most common task used in Clarity.  This will export information that populates tables in the database.  That information will populate for Data Sheets, Reports and various dropdown selection dialogs for other tasks.

    There is no physical output for this task.

    This document will help you decide what settings you need set, to get the information you need.

    Time Saver Note

    The Revit Database Export task can be run with worksets closed (NONE) to improve efficiency without compromising the data exported, however if you need svg images for datasheets or reports, worksets will need to

    Support more than 5 Revit versions back

    Evgeny Kurbatov · 3 · Last reply by Evgeny Kurbatov

    We have a project which still runs in Revit 2018. We have a special agreement with Autodesk to extend our licenses for Revit 2018. We would like to run Clarity task for that project, but it has a limited number of Revit versions to support.

    Can you consider some flexibility for supported Revit versions?

    Thank you.

    How to set Clarity to truly run tasks "Only On Change"

    Holden Fleck · 1 · Last reply by Matt Mason

    I have been having some issues with task queue saturation recently that I haven't previously. From what I have found it appears that projects with models that haven't been synced by non-clarity users for months or even years are churning out tasks for all models, despite being set to "On Change" for all their tasks. This results in Current Tasks filling up too quick for our Clarity task machines to handle. Left on its own, Clarity ends up with a 2000-3000 task backlog after a day or two. Teams expecting PDFs or DWGs are seeing delays and my planned runtimes

    Feature request for email notification - Please include folder path in the Move/Copy Post action

    Kervin Calero · 0 · Posted

    I'd like to request a feature added to the email notification. Please include a clickable file explorer link to the folder path specified in the Move/Copy Post action. This path link will take you to the results faster instead of having to manually look for it. The email notification already has a lot of info but missing this. Thanks

    When we enable the 'Auto-Deactivate Inactive Projects' feature, does it 'catch up' and deactivate projects that are already considered inactive?

    Eric Stimmel · 2 · Last reply by Matt Mason

    For example, if I turn that feature on and set it to deactivate projects that haven't been modified in 365 days and we already have projects that meet that criteria, will they be immediately deactivated or does this feature just start keeping track from the time it's enabled? Additionally, is this feature always running or is it more like a scheduled task that only runs once per week or day?

    Provide the option to set files to open "Last Viewed" for worksets

    Max Lobo · 1 · Last reply by Matt Mason

    Currently, when Clarity collaborates a model to the cloud, it sets the open option to "Specify" for worksets.  Would be good to have the ability to select "Last Viewed" or other options available in Revit.

    Does anyone have an example of a LinkRemapInstructions.txt file that I can use as a go-by? Thank you.

    Ted · 4 · Last reply by Ted

    I am looking for a way to automatically link models after running an "Update Revit Model from Disk" task.  The very last option is a "Re-map Links".  Which states the option is to, "change the mapping of the links, based on the remap file on the task server."  See the attached file for the only mention of the LinkRemapInstructions.txt file that I can find.

    Any help is appreciated.
