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

Services

• Monitoring Service
• Clarity AD Sync Service

To update

• Right click and select Properties

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?

On the Task Servers page, it would be helpful to have task servers report their available (free) RAM and disk space when they check in.

I am trying to create project dashboards of the revit rooms and areas in power bi. I would like to setup the data set to automatically schedule a refresh of the data as Clarity updates the data once a week. I do not want to go into each projects dashboard in power bi desktop to refresh.

Power bi is asking to edit the credentials and I am unsure how best to input this information so that Microsoft can view the data and refresh.

Thanks,

I don't see a way to "Accept Design Options" when publishing models. Am I missing this or can we add it in a future release?

Once a week my team goes into BIM 360 and does this to copy the published models out for other teams to download/use. We literally go into BIM 360 and use this command on 4-5 models each week.

I'm trying to figure out how I can automate this for the team. The Copy File command doesn't seem to have a straightforward way of copying from 1 BIM 360 folder to another. 

Oauth Credentials

360 projects that are in Clarity require that the 360 Oauth identity be Valid so that we can see the Project and files.

This identity must be a member of each project you want to add to Clarity and also be assigned to the document management team.

Symptoms of an invalid Oauth

• Can’t add new 360 projects because they don’t show up on the list of available projects for the hub
• 360 Post actions will not work
• Projects are showing as stale
• Files not showing on the project home page or as task targets

Reauthenticating the Oauth

• Log

I am trying to set up a task to pull models from one hub to another but I do not have the BIM 360 Migrate under synchronization. How do I get this option to show up?

Hi 

Set up a task to update some families into existing project drawing. Task completes but updated file is left behind in task server temp directory

I tried to configure a post action to copy and overwrite existing file - no success

I tried to configure post action to Egnyte Upload - no success

Any suggestions on how I can update original file after transferring project standards?

Looking at our metrics across all our projects we have 7 projects that seem to be returning a few different metrics. So, the following question came up:

Is there a difference between these two metrics?

Additionally, the following metrics appear to be similar:

# of High Warnings v. # of Warnings - High Severity # of Medium Warnings v. # of Warnings - Medium Severity # of Low Warnings v. # of Warnings - Low Severity

The alerts are based on the former for each example. Does it matter? Is there a way to get all projects to report under

Is there a way to control the output file name of the BIM360 Download task? 

I am unable to control the name of the .zip file that is created. We use Panzura and it would be preferable to overwrite the same .zip file when the backup task is run as opposed to creating a new .zip every month.

I would like to be able to view ceiling height in a json shape file in power bi. I am unable to find the best report for linking that connects the relationship of the rooms with the ceilings and its height. I noticed that the Room Data sheets have this ability but wanted to capture in power bi with the json file.  Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Bruce

Can you tell me if "Publish" in this context means Publish in BIM360 or Publish in terms of ISO19650. It seems to be the latter but I want to achieve the former
