    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

    In a Task Sequence, does the Target specified overrides the Target specified within each Task in the sequence? Or, viceversa?

    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

    We have not upgraded to 2020 yet, but we are having trouble publishing a model on BIM 360 Next Gen.  I am using the publish to C4R task and all i would like to do is publish the latest model.

    I have verified the Revit user logged into the task server is also invited to the project and can access it normally.  I have also tried with myself logged in. 

    It appears that our OAuth setting are still ok.

    Room data sheets: Sum() function for category tables

    Andreas Dieckmann · 0 · Posted

    Similar to the Count() function for category tables in room data sheets, a Sum() function would be very handy - especially if it would work in conjunction with the Count() function.

    Use cases:

    • Sum of window area per window type (and number of units of that type)
    • Sum of shelf length per shelf type (and number of units of that type)
    • etc.

    Create a "Revision Record" and a "Milestone Archive" feature.

    Peter DeRooy · 0 · Posted

    Create a "Revision Record" as part of the project.

    It would show the sheet revisions per model. The current revision could be collected by Model Metrics or dbexport tasks or the Revit Clarity Client addin. Everytime a new revision is added to the project revisions it gets added the  Revision Record.

    Once the current revision is added to a Sheet, That Sheet number and name is added to the Revision Record.

    This would be displayed in a webpage like a schedule to show all the sheets revision history per RVT model for the clarity project. This record should be exported

    Dynamo Tasks: Ability to let Clarity ignore node errors

    In some cases it can't be avoided that certain nodes in a graph throw an error. It would be great if we had a way to mark these nodes in some way (e.g. by renaming them to "ClarityIgnore:Orginal node name") so they don't show up as errors in the log. People tend to get jumpy when they see the word "error" in a log... ;-)
