    How often should model metrics tasks run?

    Miguel Granja · 1 · Last reply by Matt Mason

    We'd like to get an opinion as to how often should model metrics run on models? I am thinking this task should run on weekends because of the complexity of the task. Any thoughts or ideas are welcomed.

    Thank you,

    We are getting a message on all of our cloud projects stating that the project has not be synchronized since 8/12 and may be stale.  This seems to be true for all of our cloud projects and the date seems to be fairly consistent.  We have the latest updates for the Task and Host Servers.

    Sync Charts - Labels

    Dave Baldacchino · 0 · Posted

    The Sync charts (maybe others as well that report time) report in seconds. It would be nice to convert this to minutes & seconds instead. Also quite important to have in the label is the username for each data point.

    Viewing Reports and PDFs on Clarity

    Jessica Esteban · 1 · Last reply by Jessica Esteban

    I have been testing out the new tasks in preparation for launching company-wide.  When I run the Performance Advisor Report, sometimes the report shows and now most times, it just takes me to a blank page.  I do not understand why nothing is showing up, but the tasks show as completed.  

    In regards to creating PDFs to be able to view via the Clarity viewer, I am not able to view the PDF.  I keep getting the error that the PDF cannot be loaded and it will not load no matter how many times I hit reload.

    Unable to remove project number from project name

    Nick Bower · 0 · Posted

    Love the ability to sort by project number.  Thanks for implementing that.  We are having a problem editing the names of our existing projects now.  We used to put the project number in the name so we could effectively sort.  Since we don't have to do that now i would like to remove the project number from the front end of the project name.  Is there a cache file somewhere we need to purge or refresh or something to get these project names edited?  

    Here is a screenshot of what the project name looks like now....

    Anyone using BIM360 Model Coordination?

    Matt Mason · 0 · Posted

    The Clarity team is looking at participating in an upcoming Forge Accelerator to implement some ideas for how Clarity might assist with the BIM360 Model Coordination standpoint (whether thru automation, metrics or reporting).

    We'd love to hear people's ideas if you're familiar with both systems.

    Thanks!

    Clarity OAuth token invalid

    Nick Bower · 2 · Last reply by Nick Bower

    We have gotten several warnings over the last few weeks where the OAuth Token for Clarity breaks.  We have struggled with figuring out what was causing and why it was happening.  We initially thought it was the process of upgrading servers or something, but this morning clued me into something else.

    My user name is the one we use to authenticate BIM360...

    When i go update the credentials, it says that it is trying to use the username shown in the image below to authorize.  Clearly that is not what we want.

    Error on task target missing

    Peter DeRooy · 0 · Posted

    When creating a new project we copy tasks from another project. 

    Once the task is scheduled and runs with a invaild Target it does not even create an error log to look at. This can also happen when a model is renamed. The scheduled task that is pointing to the old model name will not create an error that the target is missing.

    Navisworks Task - Add save to second folder

    Peter DeRooy · 1 · Last reply by Matt Mason

    In the Navisworks task that is setup on a BIM 360 Design project it would be great to be able to post the NWC to a BIM 360 Folder as well as a local network folder. Right now you have only one option in the after task action. Like the Publish  to Glue Task, Add a folder option in the task body.

    Revit 2019 launched manually opens start.rvt on new task server

    Chris Schwanekamp · 1 · Last reply by Matt Mason

    I have just finished setting up a new task server and when starting Revit 2019 manually it opens start.rvt and shows the Clarity task log window as if it's processing a task.  It then sits there waiting until it times out and closes Revit.  I haven't been able to figure out what's causing this or how to "reset" the task that may be stuck on this machine?

    DWG Task - Export Individually Problem

    Nick Bower · 3 · Last reply by Nick Bower

    We are having an issue with the DWG task in Clarity 2020.  The project is a 2018 Revit Project (A360/C4R).

    The task is using a Sheet Set with 3 views to be exported to DWG, then moved to a folder on our server.  When we set the Export Individually option to Yes and then utilize the flexible naming options, we get a single DWG that is very oddly named.  Attached are some screenshots of what we are seeing.  

    As soon as we set the Export Individually option back to No and change the DWG Filename to something standard (i.e. [Document].dwg)

    _backup folder deletion script through Clarity

    Dylan Scheumann · 2 · Last reply by Dylan Scheumann

    I have a PublishRevitModel task running through Clarity, and a batch file as a post-action. I was able to resolve most issues I had with the file, except one. Clarity creates a "_backup" folder in the location that it's publishing to, and my batch file calls a powershell script that at one point deletes this folder. The rest of the functions in the script work exactly as intended, but the _backup folder isn't getting deleted. I'm assuming this is most likely because there is something open/being edited in the _backup folder through Clarity when my batch file starts. If I

    Scheduled Task Post-Action not Completing Consistently

    Mike Underwood · 4 · Last reply by Mike Underwood

    We have several tasks setup for Navisworks nwc exports on schedule, with a 'move' post-action to a UNC path) on each. 

    We're trying to troubleshoot with our IT dept two scheduled tasks that are showing complete, but not all of the exported nwc files are moving over.  No errors shown.  The files just don't show up.  The funny part is, when I manually run these two tasks, they execute without any failures. 

    Part of our troubleshooting is to change the scheduled times for these two tasks, in case there is another activity on the server(s) that is blocking the move
