When using BIM360/ACC Migrate With Revit 2024 files Clarity is reporting this error. StackTrace: at Clarity.SkyScraperApiProxy.BIM360Folders.FolderExists(SkyScraperApiProject project, String folder, Boolean createIfNotExists) at Cohort.RevitTaskPlugins.BIM360MigrateFiles.getModelsToMigrate(SkyScraperApiProject bim360SourceProject, IList`1 fromBIM360Documents, BIM360ProjectAndFolderDetails fromBIM360ProjectDetails, BIM360ProjectAndFolderDetails toBIM360ProjectDetails, String& sourceFolder, String& targetFolder) at Cohort.RevitTaskPlugins.BIM360MigrateFiles.Execute(Task t)

There are cleanup options in the Clarity task tray, which if checked will try to run once a day about 24 hours after the task tray was started last. Note: We cannot do the cleanup if Revit is running, so if tasks are always running, the cleanup may not occur. There could also be permission issues with deleting things as well at times.

So, if you want to clean up things manually, I have listed the locations below where you can regain some drive space.

You may also want to consider using the Windows Task Scheduler to clean things up.

Is there a way (or could there be a way) to add columns to the All Projects table view? I saw a couple of other requests about adding task/task server specific columns, but I'm thinking more along the lines of the built in project properties like Type, Hub, Office, maybe Tags and also custom Project Parameters like if we create a BIM Manager parameter (which we have) it would be great to be able to filter the list of projects by that parameter or by office or filter out our hub to see what projects are hosted on external hubs,

Hello,

We are upgrading our physical local server and need to transfer the Clarity Host on current virtual server on the old physical hardware to the new physical server with the transferred or copied virtual server with the Clarity Host. What is the best way to do this? Would setting up a meeting with Imaginit support be helpful?

Any knowledge would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Is it possible to get the name of the workset each linked Revit model is placed on?

I have been running the Revit Database Export task with the Workset Data Option setting set to Exhaustive (and Medium), but my report options do not include a Workset Name or Workset ID for Revit link instances.  I also do not see workset information in the SQL database for the project in the RVTLinks tables.

I have project with over 200 Revit models, it would be very helpful if I could know if all their links were on an appropriate workset.

Thanks.

If you don’t want to have to sign into the Clarity Client so that the users machine will track metrics like file open and sync times as well as untracked models, you can modify a config file to control this.

Note:  This will only track when you open a file that is workshared.

To Set Default Server for Metrics

You will need to edit a config file on the users machine to make this change.

• The config file location is in the following location for all versions of Revit.
  • C:\ProgramData\IMAGINiT Technologies\ClarityClient.dll.config 
  • Make a backup copy of the file before changing

I am wondering if a feature upgrade (or existing feature I may be unaware of?) could be made to allow for files to be emailed to a user upon completion of the task.  

e.g. export DWG or export PDF, I would like to be able to email the file directly to the user that requested the file. In a perfect world based on file size there would be options for emailing directly or emailing a link to download the file.

Alternately, a way that when a task is initiated by the user, for the username to be available to post

This is done at your own risk and will apply to all models on this task server that have the configuration files modified.

WARNING Modifying the ClarityTaskTray.exe.config and setting it to “true” will “Always hit the OK button, if there is one”, we feel like this is at least a little bit dangerous, so we don’t have it on by default.  There will still be dialogs this won't work on, since not all dialogs have an OK response.

Make a copy of the original config file before modifying it so you have a backup. If you edit the config file incorrectly

While exporting the Clarity rand database using SQL server connection, we ran into the following issues and would appreciate your support with resolving.

1. Clarity index data base is empty
2. The Modeltime query table is only available for some users, we need that to be available for all the users working on the models. 
3. There are some query tables that are empty. E.g. (Diagnostic chart, User group, User group project, User group Revit user)
4. Only some users are visible in user query tables. 
5. Model Size is negative and unreal number is query tables.
6. We need to produce a 'matrics over time'

As we were exporting the Clarity Rand database using SQL server connection, we came across couple of hurdles.

• Clarity index data base is empty

• The Modeltime query table is only available for some users, we need that to be available for all the users working on the models.

There are some query tables that are empty. E.g. (Diagnostic chart, User group, User group project, User group Revit user) Only some users are visible in user query tables.  Model Size is negative and unreal number is query tables. We need to produce a 'matrics over time' diagram like below.

When I run a new task I get this error

n unexpected error occurred: NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.:

You can increase productivity by running some of your tasks with Worksets set to None.  This will improve the open time, dramatically in some cases, depending on the size of the file and the number of links.

Below is a list of tasks that can run with worksets set to None without impacting the output from the task.

Yes, a task has an option for e-mail notification. But I want to notify a specific person about a specific task result.

Typically a project has tons of tasks, like printing PDFs, sending files, etc. And typically the user list for a project contains many person which are mostly designers who are responsible for such massive tasks. They all get notifications about tasks if that option is activated for tasks. 

Let's say I have a specific task, i.e. "clash report" which result I want to send to a project manager. Currently I need to include the PM to users list.

Unable to access the Metrics for all of Clarity after upgrading to 2023. Please help.

Thanks,

I am working to create a task that can print specific sheets from my model to PDF and follow the naming of the sheet as the file name.

However, the biggest issue so far seems to be that in my "Filename Builder" pop-up box I don't have 2 parameters that seem like they should be there according to examples posted in the Help area (Using File Keywords - User Interface for Filename Building).

I tried running a Database Export again with no success on getting "View" and "Sheet" to populate for me to use in creating my new task. See

How can this be suppressed when opening a revit project and this pops up? Please see attached.

Thanks

Please add the Worksets parameter for Task Templates. In most time they have two values ALL or NONE. For some of tasks there is no need to open Worksets, for example for the task Revit Database Export. For such tasks I use the NONE value, which significantly reduces processing time.

When I assign such Task Template to a project I need to set the Worsets to NONE for the assigned projects. Too many clicks. It is a big disadvantage in comparison with copying tasks from one project to another.

It would be great to include an option to delete specific worksets when publishing a Revit file via Clarity. At the moment there is only an option to retain or remove ALL worksets, but there is a often a single workset we need to delete as part of our publish process - for example "Temporary Structure" in an Architectural file.

I think it might be helpful for those users with multi office organized servers to allow the use of the office as a keyword in the post task action.

In our offices the file path looks like this: //servername/office/project name/

If we could leverage the assigned office parameter set during the project startup it would dramatically simplify our project startup process.

This would allow us to set post task action paths in the task templates as \\servername\[office]\[Project]\ and eliminate the need for template tasks that are specific to each office.

There is a RVT and RFA upgrader, these are great. A RTE would be nice. We don't have a lot of those but still have a few.
