    Show who lasted synced on BIM 360 models on the project page

    Peter DeRooy · 0 · Posted

    Right now it appears that the LastModifiedBy column on the BIM360 project home page is not filled out.

    Maybe have the clarity client collect this data?

    Should Clarity be able to see the deleted files in BIM 360 Docs?

    Anthony Harwood · 1 · Last reply by Matt Mason

    Hi!

    I have deleted a model in BIM 360 Docs but Clarity still runs tasks on it. Has anyone else run into this? I tried to purge the model from the deleted area in BIM 360 and cannot see how to. Besides setting up a file filter for the project, is there anything else I can do? I can foresee this becoming a difficult to manage having to monitor deleted files and filtering them out of our tasks.

    Thanks in advance!

  • Use of Worksets within Clarity (incl BIM360)

    Matt Mason · 0 · Posted

    Since Clarity 2020, it's been possible to specify worksets on a given task. If you've run the RevitDBExport task, then you could see the worksets to choose from on the "Basic" tab.

    Starting in Clarity 2021, it is also possible to specify worksets with BIM360 projects (in this case you must have run the RevitDBExport task at least once).

    You can use these workset settings to:

    • Improve performance by not opening all worksets
    • Control visibility

    On the "Advanced" tab, it's also possible to specify wildcards - as well as negative wildcards (such as "don't show anything that includes the word

    How do you remove old task servers?

    R Robert Bell · 1 · Last reply by Matt Mason

    Our list of task servers in the server console show old task servers, either ones that have been renamed or others that have been decommissioned. I see no way to manage those nor does the documentation describe how the Task Server page is updated. Am I missing information somewhere?

    How do I create a Project Query?

    Tom Kemp · 2 · Last reply by Tom Kemp

    I'm trying to generate a report (Project Query) of all the projects we have in Clarity with some information that we have as parameters in the Revit Project Information.

    I setup the table with the fields that I want to include.  When I try to create a report I get this error message:

    Make Metric Management something that can be done by Coordinators

    Andreas Dieckmann · 0 · Posted

    A Project Coordinator (within a project) should be able to manage the metrics for their models.

    Currently it requires a Global Project Coordinator role.

    Metrics: Distinguish between model types

    Model size is not always a good modifier for the metrics threshold values.

    At our office we usually deal with different model types: main models (contains rooms and all typical building elements, may be split into multiple models depending on size of project), auxiliary models (usually facades, roof structures etc.), site models, detail models (containing most of the detail views hence a lot of detail components, line work and annotation). All of these have typical characteristics which also means they produce very different metrics, e.g. a detail model containing even a single room should set off alarm bells whereas the

    Let task servers learn custom paper sizes from host server

    Andreas Dieckmann · 1 · Last reply by Matt Mason

    We have some projects that need to use a lot of custom paper sizes. Managing those paper sizes on the host server and multiple task servers is fairly tedious and I was wondering if it wouldn’t be possible to have the task servers “learn” any new paper sizes for the ClarityPDF driver that were created on the host server.

    Post Action inconsistency

    Joost Schlebaum · 1 · Last reply by Matt Mason

    Hi,

    We are having issues with the Post Action feature in both DWFx and PDF exports. I am trying to get 2 actions in order: upload to BIM360 AND copy files to a network folder. Clarity randomly either processes one, none or both (most of the times just one). Changing the order doesn't do anything. The Copy is on copy, not move, so that has been checked as well.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks,

    Joost Schlebaum

    Subst drive not in the list

    Evgeny Kurbatov · 2 · Last reply by Evgeny Kurbatov

    Hello,

    In our company we assess our Revit projects via the R: drive created with command subst R: \\svr\projects. This type of a network drive connection makes it working as a local drive for Revit, it doesn't convert it to UNC path. This strategy is chosen with purpose, we see advantages in this approach over the UNC path. We configured the Clarity server and task machines to have the R: as it appears for users. Unfortunately I cannot create a Clarity project with path targeting to the R: drive, it is not in the list:

    The substituted R: drive works

    Can a project be changed from a local server to B360

    Tom Kemp · 1 · Last reply by Matt Mason

    We have a few of projects that are moving from local servers to B360.  At some point in the future they will likely transition back to our server.

    Is there a way to change a project that is already setup in Clarity to work on B360 instead of local files?  And then change it back?

    please update Online Help Graphics. One example is the help section for the Publish Revit Model task.

    Room Data Sheet Room Images

    I am creating a room data sheet and I would like to include graphics of the plan that match Revit more closely than the default svgRoom image.

    I have a roomimageexport task that appears to capture images from a set of specific plan views in Revit.  I am struggling with formatting the [roomimage] to display an image.

    Here is the svgRoom image:
