    Peter DeRooy · 2 · Last reply by Peter DeRooy

    When using Task Templates  use Keyword in the template name to automatically name the new assigned tasks in a project.

    Same request when creating a new project from a template Project. 

    In the template project have tasks created with Keywords in the names. When the with tasks are copied have the keywords swapped out the the value of the keyword to automatically name the task.

    New Backup Task - Milestone submission

    Create a New backup task the is run on demand that prompts for the milestone submission description that is added to the Zip file name with the current revision in the Revit project.

    Right now we can create a dated zip file on a schedule in Clarity.  Most times user create their own zip right after a milestone submission. It would be great to have Clarity do this so the process is done on every project for every milestone. 

    On way to do this is to add this feature to the Revit Clarity addin so it can pop up the

    Keyword [ ] Separators

    Andrew Beazley · 1 · Last reply by Matt Mason

    we often need to use "[" and "]" characters in files names of PDFs, NWCs, RVTs, IFCs, etc, but currently seem to be unable to, as Clarity uses [ and ] as keyword separator characters. Can these be changed to something less likely to be used or an admin customisable set of characters at the host server level. eg keyword separator characters like { and } or < and > instead?

    Not pulling new model for BIM360 project.

    Philip Chase · 5 · Last reply by Matt Mason

    We are trying to run PDFs for a submittal this afternoon and all of the sheets being produced are out of date.  Checking the 'Date Modified' on the model located in C:\Users\clarity\AppData\Local\Autodesk\Revit\Autodesk Revit 2019\CollaborationCache\..... of the task server, it says the model is from 3:45AM last night.  

    I know that with local models, tasks that are run close to each other (within 30 min or so) Clarity will use the same model instead of pulling a new one.  What is that window for a BIM360 project?  Is it 24 hours?  Other than deleting all of the models on every task server

  • Migrating to BIM360 with Help From Clarity

    Matt Mason · 2 · Last reply by Matt Mason

    As you begin to have projects that you want to migrate from older versions of Revit to BIM360, Clarity now (in 2019.1.6) has some updates that can help you with this process.

    For example: 

    - Need to upgrade from C4R/Revit 2018 to BIM360/Revit 2019? We can help with that!

    - Migrate from one BIM360 hub/project to another

    Using Clarity for the Migration Process

    In most cases, these processes take several steps:

    1. Getting the models out - either using the PublishRevitModel, or A360Download to pull files out of where they are currently residing, into a local UNC path on disk.

  • Using the Clarity Task Utility

    Matt Mason · 2 · Last reply by Dan Warren

    What is the Clarity Task Utility?

    It is a Windows-based tool, installed with the Clarity Host software, which can do some batch updates on tasks and task definitions.

    Where is It?

    C:\Program Files\IMAGINiT Technologies\Tools\Clarity.TaskUtility

    What Can It Do?

    • Manage Current Tasks
      • Select the tasks in the grid, then for the selected tasks:
        • Kill Them (request that Revit be shutdown if it's working on them)
        • Delete them (remove them if Revit has not yet claimed them)
        • Reprioritize them to a new priority level
    • Manage Task Definitions
      • Select the tasks in the grid, then for the selected tasks:
        • Batch Copy them to

    Publish Revit Model Post Action

    Philip Chase · 6 · Last reply by Matt Mason

    The PublishRevitModel task is not creating the dynamic [Date] folder when running the Post Action Move.  The task is "completing with errors" in the fact that the model is being detached and saved to the Publish Folder location, but when it tries to move to the folder called 20190121 (based on [Date]), it fails because the folder does not exist. 

    Does this task no longer function with dynamic folder creation?

    Have Clarity Client track RVT files not setup in Clarity

    Peter DeRooy · 1 · Last reply by Peter DeRooy

    The 2019.1 Clarity Client  can send open and sync time Metrics to the host without a user login on the client. Have the Client collect information on  what models are not setup in Clarity and display the list on a Admin web page like "Models not setup in Clarity". read the projectinfo project name field to include to group the list by project. This way you can find a list of models that should be setup in Clarity.

    Add the ID column to Column Select

    Peter DeRooy · 3 · Last reply by Peter DeRooy

    When looking a a tast list view please add the ID column. This is usefull for editing tasks with the task ID. Example, the url http://tmpvm-clarity/CentralAdministrator/ProjectTasks/EditTask/153 I can just change the number at the end to switch to the next task I want to edit.

    I used the Clarity.TaskUtility.exe to find the sorted Task ID's and did a screen shot to create a list I can use to track what needs to be changed.

    grant an option to edit Tasks in 

    If this cannot be done another option would be two steps with

    1 . Add an Export tab to Excel the list of tasks with the ID from the Manage Tasks dialog in Clarity.TaskUtility.exe.

    2 . add to the web interface Tasks - Task Setup  "Edit by ID"

    with the exported excel file sort the list by project or by task type the get the list of tasks you want to edit, then us the "Edit by ID" option to type in the id number

    Dynamo not running

    Philip Chase · 3 · Last reply by Matt Mason

    I have a Task Sequence of a Dynamo script to update room names/numbers, followed by printing PDFs.  None of my task servers even see that the sequence is sitting in the queue.  I've tried running the Dynamo task by it's self, same scenario, task servers do not see it in the queue.  The PDF task on it's own runs fine. 

    I'll send diagnostics from the task servers shortly.

    Filter total hours saved

    Matt P · 1 · Last reply by Matt Mason

    I know in the Clarity web UI we can see the total time saved on the task servers page but this is a running total from when the system came online.   We can also see total time saved for each project on the project pages in the web.

    Is there any way to filter time saved numbers by date or by project tags or by type of task?  Is this possible in the SQL management studio?

    Model Metrics displayed

    Matt P · 2 · Last reply by Matt Mason

    I have checked some of these projects and the tasks for model metrics and performance advisor are running fine on all of them but I see nothing for most of the projects through the model metrics summary card page.   This has been filtered for 2019 projects if that matters.   As you can see a few projects show data but most don't.

    Project Archiving?

    Matt P · 2 · Last reply by Matt P

    What does archiving a project do in relationship to metric data?   We want to keep model metric information in the system but remove the projects from the all projects page as there is no more need to run tasks.   How does this work?
