    Let task servers report their available RAM and disk space

    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.

    How best to edit credentials in Power Bi to the data source so that I can schedule refresh of data automatically

    Bruce Gunderson · 1 · Last reply by Matt Mason

    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?

    Copying Revit Files from one BIM 360 folder to another in the same project.

    Dan Warren · 3 · Last reply by Matt Mason

    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. 

  • Clarity How to Reset the 360 Oauth Credentials

    Sherry Pittman · 0 · Posted

    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

    Transfer Project Standards, from to Egnyte

    Max Bodnar · 1 · Last reply by Matt Mason

    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?

    Duplicate Model Metrics: # of Warnings vs. # of All Revit Warnings

    Dan Warren · 0 · Posted

    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

    Set BIM360 Download Zip File Name

    Dan Warren · 0 · Posted

    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.

    how best to link ceiling height to room?

    Bruce Gunderson · 1 · Last reply by Matt Mason

    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,

    Clarity Publish Revit files

    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

    clarity [Project] keyword in BIM 360 Backup Task

    Dan Warren · 1 · Last reply by Dan Warren

    Had a unique issue happen for the first time in ever.... almost all of our BIM 360 Backup tasks failed yesterday. They all use the same naming convention:

    \\\shared\projects\\[Project]\clarity\BIM 360 Backup

    we use this convention on MANY tasks, but last night over 50+ of our BIM 360 backup projects failed. Many however created these lovely " [Project] " folders on our server that once explored have BIM 360 backups in them.

    I moved the backups to their correct folder and cleaned everything up. but these same tasks have been running for months without issue until last night.

    File has been deleted

    Jordan Lane · 0 · Posted

    During a very importnat deadline last week. One of our files was shwon as Deleted in the Activity Stream on Clarity, it is hosted on BIM 360, we have had no problems with this file until now. I could not find the file anywhere to include in tasks. Why did this happen and how do I prevent it from happening again?

    Include the Median Hours in the Monthly Report

    Dan Warren · 1 · Last reply by Matt Mason

    I think including the median hours saved in the monthly report would provide a little more context to the monthly report. Providing just the mean implies a symmetrical dataset which I can only assume is not exactly the case. I would guess it's not a perfect bell curve. So, if we could get the median it might provide a little more nuance to understanding where the "average" firm sits in the dataset.

    Is there any reason that the Family Upgrader task doesn't support family template files with the .RFT file extension?

    Eric Stimmel · 1 · Last reply by Eric Stimmel

    The task description is very clear (and empirical testing confirms) that this only works on .RFA files, but there's really no difference in the files. We can change the file extension using a file renamer, run the upgrade, then rename back, but it would be nicer if the task just did this.

    Revit Model Report

    Alan Crystal · 4 · Last reply by Matt Mason

    When pulling data for a custom revit model report, is this done through the DBExport task? If so, are there specific settings required for the DBExport task? I have a report set up, and have run the DBExport task, but no data is displaying in the report.
