    Some Revit files in BIM 360 do not appear in Clarity

    Alan Strominger · 4 · Last reply by Alan Strominger

    We have over 40 Revit 2020 central files in the folder on BIM 360 but less than 20 files appear in the target box in Clarity.  Multiple rescans, no file filters.

    A few files at top of list are not cloud shared so expect those not to show, but many others are cloud shared central files and do not show in clarity.

    Please fix the issue of the PDF-XChange PDF Driver does not print Blacklines.

    Tasks the have an invalid Target should report failed

    Peter DeRooy · 1 · Last reply by Matt Mason

    When a task is copied to a new project sometimes the target was not updated so it points to a model that does not exist in the project. Even though it is scheduled to start the task never starts and does not create an error.

    This can also happen when the model name or path changes. No error is logged.

    Please create and error " Missing Target" so the Clarity manager is notified that the project has an issue.

    Thanks

    LastReportedDate field for Untracked Server Models

    Please add a LastReportedDate column to the UntrackedServerModels table. This would be useful for filtering the data (i.e. excluding old untracked models that haven't been opened recently).

    Dynamo Workspace Refresh

    Scott Michaud · 1 · Last reply by Matt Mason

    I noticed that as the Dynamo scripts do not launch the Dynamo Workspace I cant not use any python commands that reference it. IE using it to get the version of dynamo installed when using nodes to send settings, history, pc infor back to a SQL database for tracking. The other thing is as it is not launching the workspaces some python does not execute. Autodesks answer is to put a boolean node and switch it from one to the other to trick the python block to run again (requires you to hit run twice). Unlike when its ran in

    New BIM 360 Migrate task

    How do we know this is running successfully? There is no update or log in the task status.

    Looking at the Admin Console log, there appears to be some BIM360 Upload activity, but nothing is being reported. Can't see any files appearing in the target hub.

    Clarify RevitDBExport Task Documentation

    R Robert Bell · 0 · Posted

    It would be great if the documentation clearly states if the Minimal Export option exports the workset names. I've found that project admins are concerned when they use Minimal and then the Worksets setting says None. They ask, "does that mean I can't configure what worksets to open? http://s3.amazonaws.com/IMAGINiTSoftware/Documentation/Clarity/2021/index.htm#t=Admin___Coordinators_Guide%2FTask_Automation%2FAvailable_Tasks%2FData_-_Metrics_Tasks%2FRevit_DB_Export.htm

    I keep getting Errors on Model Metric tasks

    Dan Warren · 4 · Last reply by Dan Warren

    I have multiple Model Metric tasks that keep throwing errors. I keep getting "Encountered issues collecting metrics for: Revit Warnings. Not all metrics were recorded."

    I think this is stemming from how I set this task up in our template project, but I don't know how to trouble shoot the issue. When i read the log I can't make heads or tails of what "error" occurred. any help would be appreciated.

    Task Tool: Add ability to disable / enable. Currently just readonly.

    Would be great if Clarity's Task Tool had the ability to disable / enable individual tasks.  The checkbox value is just readonly now.  This would save time for task administrators.

    Sort Task Timeline to Show Errored Tasks Only

    Dan Warren · 0 · Posted

    I think it would be helpful to be able to visualize the timeline with only the errored tasks. Like how you can toggle on/off the "Only on Change" property. The ability to toggle the timeline to show only errored tasks would handy.

    OAuth Has broken multiple times

    Nick Bower · 3 · Last reply by Matt Mason

    Since upgrading to Clarity 2021 our OAuth has needed to be re-authenticated 4 times in the 9 days.  Is there something we can check to see if something is wrong with our install or check to see if there is something more we need to do other than just keep re-authenticating it?

    Thanks

    Add PDFCreator for drivers

    Evgeny Kurbatov · 3 · Last reply by Matt Mason

    Hello,

    In our company we are using th PDFCreator driver. I found it is better compared to other PDF drivers: 1. It is fast. It takes less time for us to produce drawings. 2. It give true B&W graphics. Just compare its output with the the PDF-XChange result:

    I would be happy using it. Hope other user would love it too. 

    Please add it to the Clarity. Thank you, Evgeny.

    View link in All Projects list sometimes goes wrong

    R Robert Bell · 0 · Posted

    I've discovered that when I use the View link from the All Projects list view, sometimes the link doesn't work correctly. Most project's View link does go to the project, but at least one is just going back to the all projects view. I recorded a video of the issue that I only can share with tech support.

    [ProjectFolder] for Run Sript post-action

    Evgeny Kurbatov · 0 · Posted

    Hi there,

    The Post Task Actions Overview help article tells about available keywords.

    I try to apply the [ProjectFolder] keyword for my Run Script post-action. Finished task reports an error:

    The specified Post Action Script: [ProjectFolder]\Current Clarity Set\PDF\Pre-FullSet-Black.bat does not exist?

    How can we make the [ProjectFolder] keyword working?

    Thank you.

    Disconnected from central

    Evgeny Kurbatov · 0 · Posted

    Hello,

    The eTransfer command generates an interesting version of the target Revit file - it is disconnected from any central file. I would like the "Publish Revit Model" task would be able to create such file. 

    Why. I run the task and it creates a target tile in a network folder. Then I upload the file to BIM36o. And here is a problem - I cannot link the file properly. I believe it happens because the BIM360 file is a copy of the task created networked (central) file and it is considered as a local file. When we link a

    custom revit model file name

    Hi,

    I use the Publish Revit Model task and want to customize the output filename by client's requirements. I can't find a Filename Builder or just an ability to type its name directly. Do I miss something?

    Thank you,

    Clarity feature request - task post-actions sequence option

    Evgeny Kurbatov · 0 · Posted

    Hello,

    Clarity runs post-actions in parallel, which is understood when we want to send files to BIM36, FTP and Google Drive. But there are scenarios when post-action should be performed one after another. For example, after generating files with Clarity I need to do the following:

    1. Delete old files in the target network folder. 2. Move the generated file to the target folder. 3. Rename files according client requirements. 4. Send files to shared location.

    The post-action should be performed in the given sequence. With the current parallel running the Clarity can delete the newly generated files in the
