I was wondering if there may be scope for an upgrade to the Dynamo For Families Task. We like to use this task to run a dynamo on our entire content library. Works great for a limited number of files. Just chugs through the list and gets it done. The problem is the inherent Revit limitation of not completely releasing in-use RAM until the revit session shuts down. Once we get upwards of 100-200 families being updated the revit session gradually loses available RAM, and ends up with the workstation sitting at 99% RAM in use, everything grinds to a

It seems like - at least on B360 projects - that folder order isn't being used, but date uploaded or date of creation.  My teams have have several projects where random models will appear in the incorrect order when trying to filter, leading to confusion.  This is worse on projects where the actual Design Collab workflows may be used so multiple exact-name matches may appear in the index of files. 

If I wanted to take a large print job (several hundred pages) and break it up into multiple smaller jobs that could be distributed across multiple task servers, how would I do that?

This is what I have built so far:

1) In Revit break the print set into multiple sets "Print Set Name X of Y". This could be done relatively quickly with one of many tools (dynamo, ideate, etc.).

2) Create identical PDF tasks for each "X of Y" print set. Post task action place the PDFs in a common location. 

3) Schedule the tasks to run at

I'm comparing the Backup Project and the BIM360/ACC Download tasks. They both seem to do the same thing but with slightly different means.

The Backup Project task is more of a true backup for BIM360/ACC (appears to pull additional information like Issues, checklists, RFIs, linked files etc). This information (which could be quite a lot) is then zipped and put in a designated location (on the host or a server location). This appears to work with live Revit models (and apparently it will bundle in linked files if it can find them). 

The BIM360/ACC Download task seems to be more

We have tasks setup with the target set to  *  so they allow access to all files in the project.

The launchable parameter of Target is enabled so the user can select which file to run at launch time.

The 2 run buttons as per attached image behave differently. The top one gives user option to set the launchable target parameter, while the lower one in setup screen, just launches the task on all files.

This then launches in our case 100(sometimes thousands) of tasks which i need to go and cancel. If other tasks are running at the same

Unable to access Clarity after installing 2023.1 files. Please help!

I am trying to find the task which delays a Task Server. I want to find it by the task number, but sometimes it is not shown in the visible portion of the Clarity Task Log window. Is it possible add the task number to the window title? 

Task name would be informative too.

Thank you.

A little thing for pleasure. Please sort the Hubs list:

Thank you.

I think a very useful feature for  The Task Options is to allow an additional level of control in the Access Required field of a Task setup: If this could be a dropdown that included Administrator/Project Coordinator/Standard User etc, that way we can better control which users can run each task. 

Some of our PDF files generated from PDF Tasks have text issues to where the text displays as "garbled" text - showing random characters of symbols, letters, and numbers. We use the Arial Font, which all of our Task Servers have installed.

My workaround is to the issue is to first delete the existing PDF files in the Project's main Artifact folder first so that there is no PDF files that Clarity has to attempt to overwrite, which does seem to help issue, but we have overnight/scheduled PDF Tasks that we run as Check Sets that are  constantly having to

We would like for there to be a way to specify additional options in the task sequence target.

e.g. Task 1 & 2 use the main task sequence file target - but task 3 uses it's individual set target.

We run seqence tasks that take a single file, update the file and the duplicate the file based on criteria. I would then like to continue the task sequence - but change the target to the newly created files.

alternatively an option to sequence a task sequence? Sequence 1 includes sequence 2 and 3 for example? This would also solve the

We would like the ability to set how often the projects scan for new files. Ideally this could even be configured on a 'Per project basis'.

Usually the 30-60 min would not be a concern but we have a few projects with sequenced tasks that generate new files. Those files get picked up and modifed by a new task set to operate immeditely with sync to central (i.e. as soon as it arrives in project). This works, but we have to wait the 30 minutes or manually re-scan the project to do next step.

We are seeing some major issues where Clarity is telling us it cannot access the models in a project. Tasks will run successfully one day and then fail the next. Or a particular task will run on one model and not another in the same project.

These are the steps we've found that will fix the problem sometimes:

1. remove file filters at the project level
2. remove Clarity from BIM360 project and re-add with Admin permissions
3. request rescan after adding Clarity as Admin

IF we have a successful task run after this, we can sometimes add the file filters back into the

How does Clarity manage tasks when they are stacked on top of each other in the Task Timeline?

During project startup we've started seeing this a lot.

Multiple identical projects on the BIM360/ACC project list. This is really confusing as one of these projects is the correct project.  If we pick the wrong project during startup all the tasks fail out as clarity "Cannot find a revit model..." 

Currently or fix is this: 1) Identify if a project is set correctly (revit file names, file filters, etc) 2) If the project is set correctly- Delete the clarity project and make a new project pointed at a different project on the list (maybe this is the correct one, this

Hello there! Passionate user of Clarity. Thank you for all the hard work! I've created a PowerBi Dashboard that works with Revit Schedule .txt files. I see there is a functionality to automate schedule exports, but the schedules save on the Clarity site. Is there an option to specify a file path on your local server? Thanks!

If you changed the password to the account you use to run your Clarity services, this will stop Clarity from functioning properly until the password is updated in all locations it is used.

Host

On the Host this identity is generally used for the following:

IIS

• ClarityReportingAppPool
• ClarityWebAppPool
• ClarityWebServicesAppPool

To Update

• Right Click and select Advanced Settings
• Select Identity, then the ...

• Enter the Domain\Username, then password and confirm.
• Start the Application Pool
• Repeat for the other two.

As the subject states. The support documentation says this:

Does this mean I could create an "Office" Parameter and use that parameter in the post task actions? See previous post on this here: 

Add office to the available Keywords | IMAGINiT Support (helprace.com) So, a possible post task action path could be : "\\MyServerName\[Office]\[Project]\Clarity Stuff"

It appears that way after read this:

However I don't see anything related to how to specifically call a Project Parameter in a task or post task action. 

Tasks List Filter: I noticed when I type a word in the filter name list (for example PDF) and pick enter. The filter list does not show on the dash board. I need to pick one of the tasks and this is the only task that shows. How can I get the filter list to shown all named tasks with the word PDF when I pick enter?  Could you add this to a future version? I am using Chrome as my browser.

In order to be able to ignore tasks from inactive projects on the global Setup Tasks page, could you add add a filter fopr this?
