    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.

    TaskCommandTester null reference error

    John Dutz · 3 · Last reply by Matt Mason

    Minor issue with an easy workaround, but TaskCommandTester.Command.Execute should check if commandData.Application.ActiveUIDocument is null and provide a more meaningful error message rather than "a NullReferenceException occurred".

    FullDate Keyword Not Working as Expected

    Dan Warren · 1 · Last reply by Matt Mason

    I have a user that is trying to create a Folder with the [FullDate] keyword in the path during a post task action. This is the path in the task:

    This is the resulting path created. We have tried [FullDate] and [Full Date].

    We can fix this by using the [Custom(yyyy_MM__dd)] keyword but I thought you should know the [fulldate] keyword doesn't appear to be working as expected.

    Username for Revit Build Change Notification

    Evgeny Kurbatov · 0 · Posted

    When I receive a Revit Build Change Notification I need to make a little investigation – who has the outdated Revit version. I go to the Clarity > Files > Model name > Timeline. There I can see all the people synched the model. I try to understand who synchronized the model at the time when the message was sent. Sometimes a few syncs happen in short period of time, and I can make a mistake about the person. It would be nice to avoid all that hassle.

    Could you please add the username to the Revit Build Change Notification?

    Thank

    Linking file Clarity files timeline graphics on other webpages with their previews

    sunlee · 1 · Last reply by Matt Mason

    Hi,

    I am trying to use the timeline graphic of a file in Clarity in other webpage.

    I am trying to link the graphic to a webpage called Notion(https://www.notion.so/) page and use it to manage the status of each projects.

    However, could not find a way to directly link the graphic or have the preview of it. If you see the attached "Notion_Link Embed 1", only a link is shown when you embed a webpage not the preview. However, when a Youtube video is linked, it shows preview of it's content. And what I wish to have on this page

    How does BIM 360 Mitigate work?

    Bruce Gunderson · 1 · Last reply by Matt Mason

    Trying to connect to partner HUB/project to push .rvt files. 

    Need to push .rvt files from Project A on HUB 1 to Project B on HUB 2.

    Clarity is associated with HUB 1. Clarity is an Admin to HUB 1 and Project Admin to Project A.

    Clarity is invited to Project B as Project Admin on HUB 2. It is not associated to HUB 2 as Admin.

    Based on Help for BIM 360 Mitigate I need to create a Clarity project associated with Project B on HUB 2. The Target project would be Project A on HUB 1.

    Autocad Plant 3D to Navisworks - which version 2019-2020-2021-2022 to start

    Claude Godin · 0 · Posted

    Hello,

    J'ai deux problèmes par rapport à la conversion de fichier AutoCAD plant 3D vers Navisworks.

    1- The first problem, even if in the task I select the Plant 3D product, it starts Autocad with the last configuration that was run on the server, for example if on the server I start AutoCAD Civil 3D, it will take this one for run my task. How do we get them to take the right products without having to start it manually on the server?

    2- My second question, on the server we have all the versions of the Autocad products, i.e.

    Journal files accessible from Clarity interface

    Steve Cardinal · 0 · Posted

    Typically the users responsible for tasks don't have access to the task servers themselves to review the journal files referenced by the failed task. It would be very helpful if the system could allow access to those journal files or place copies of them in a location that is accessible via the Clarity interface. Maybe something similar to how the host logs are accessible. It would go a long way in enabling these users to troubleshoot the failures themselves.

    I have try to make the Revit Model Checker work in clarity but I always receive this error:
