upload to Revizto

At to Clarity the option to upload into Revisto.

EllisDon is asking us to discuss using it for our projects.

Open With Audit & Compact Central

Scott MacKenzie — Thu, 07 Mar 2019 23:56:52 +0000

Why is there not a built in task to audit and compact a Revit model?

Automate Design Collaboration on BIM360

Amber Clark — Tue, 08 Nov 2022 15:46:20 +0000

It would be extremely beneficial if Clarity could create, share, and consume packages through Design Collaboration on BIM360.

Navisworks Conversion Task - ability to embed database properties

Ger O'Sullivan — Wed, 15 Jun 2022 15:12:07 +0000

We have additional object data linked from a database in our federated Navisworks model however the data is not held when we run the Navisworks Conversion Task.

If the file was exported manually the following option would be chosen thus exporting the data,

Trimble Connect Support

Yigitcan Karanfil — Tue, 25 Feb 2020 17:00:20 +0000

It would be great to have support for downloading/uploading from Trimble Connect directly. It's been our main platform for sharing files for several months now and it does have API access. Considering this is a construction oriented file sharing platform with online IFC viewing capabilities, having the option to interface with it directly would be great.

Trimble has Trimble Connect Sync which can sync folders but I find that it's not the greatest tool and having to use multiple tools creates more failure points in an automation system.

Create Dark Mode for Clarity web interface.

Create Dark Mode for Clarity web interface.

Add Model Metrics for # of Models Linked by Internal &

Liam Cummings — Mon, 01 Jul 2024 19:44:36 +0000

If we had a Model Metric for the number of models linked by Internal and another for those linked by , we could use the Task to check how many models could be affected by updates to Shared Coordinates and which ones need to be adjusted before making updates.

Delete Claimed Tasks

Peter DeRooy — Mon, 13 Jan 2020 15:24:13 +0000

When viewing the Current Tasks, be able to delete Claimed tasks without waiting for the task to be running in a Revit session on the task processor.

Many times I was to kill a task from the Current Task page but get a dialog saying "The selected task cannot be deleted"

Publish Settings List Report

Timothy Brummett — Tue, 03 Dec 2024 17:37:12 +0000

I'd love to be able to export a list of models with their named sets of Publish Settings. I could then see if there are any missing or misspelled sets the Print Range Clarity is looking for when exporting dwg's or pdf's.

Visibility on Server Availability During Task Creation

Liam Cummings — Tue, 02 Jul 2024 17:06:27 +0000

Providing a heat map for server availability and peak times would help us balance our task load across servers more effectively. If this information was available at the point of task creation, admins could select the times when they knew their tasks were most likely to succeed. The heat map should be viewable as daily or weekly based on all currently scheduled tasks on the network.

More Granular Control of Email Notifications

Dave Baldacchino — Fri, 18 Aug 2023 13:17:59 +0000

We automatically assign all our Design Technology Managers as Project Coordinators (global role) so they can see and support any project. Because of the hundreds of tasks that run everyday, we were forced to turn off the "Receives e-mails" setting for these accounts. Unfortunately that disables every single email, but we would like to have granular control of notifications in order to receive emails about:

Failed tasks
Dormant projects

I filed a case with support (Case 00716746) as I was not sure whether dormant project notifications were part of this setting, and it turns out that it is. The suggested workaround was to turn the email setting back on and use Outlook filters to delete unwanted notifications. I don't think this is a good strategy, with having Clarity sending out thousands of unwanted emails every day. I think there should be more granular control to allow coordinators to receive the exact type of communication they desire. And frankly rather than being a global setting, I think it should even be at the project level....not all projects are created equal as they say :) Thanks.

Don't reset filter/sort settings on task list

Sam Sampoux — Tue, 18 Oct 2022 21:04:36 +0000

I often filter the list of all tasks from all projects, but whenever I run/edit/copy a task, the filter setting gets reset, and I have to refilter again, and again, and again. This is not an efficient setup. Please disable the reset. If a user knows how to apply a filter, they would also know to reset that filter if/when desired.

This also happens to sorting. I sort the list based on Frequency for instance, then click Run on a task. The page refreshes and my sort preference is no longer set.

Thanks,

Run Multiple Appearance Profilers for Navisworks Conversion Task

Gelo — Fri, 05 Dec 2025 16:42:58 +0000

Navisworks command line prompt allows for multiple Appearance Profilers to run. Requesting same options appear in Clarity Task for NWF to NWD conversion

New Navis Export setting for Revit

Derek Becher — Mon, 24 Mar 2025 19:10:47 +0000

There are two Navis export setting that have been added to Revit recently, that would be beneficial to us. We would like to be able to control these from the clarity task instead of having to set them on each task pc for each version of Revit.

The setting are "Separate Custom Properties" and "Strict Sectioning". See attached image.

Number of Revits

Francisco Gonzalez — Tue, 12 Feb 2019 10:36:13 +0000

Would be great if we can decide the maximum Number of Revits we want for each project, due to not all of them have same size.

Cheers,

Francisco Gonzalez

Navisworks Export settings

Jason Metoyer — Wed, 15 Oct 2025 16:13:30 +0000

There are some settings in native Navisworks exports that are not included in Clarity's Navisworks settings:
"Convert linked CAD formats"
"Separate Custom properties"
"Strict Sectioning"
Type properties on Elements"

It would be great to control whether CAD links are exported, as well as turn off "Separate Custom properties" as you can through Revit.

"It looks like the requested service is currently unavailable. Please try again." Dialog

Dan Warren — Fri, 07 Jul 2023 13:10:07 +0000

I just happened to be looking at a task server when this error window popped up. I watched the machine for a little while to see if it would suppress this dialog. It didn't, so, I clicked OK and then it resumed the task.

Is Clarity able to suppress this dialog? It didn't appear the task would move forward had I not intervened. I also don't think this dialog is much more than a nuisance.

Report when models need Coordination Review

Peter DeRooy — Mon, 02 Mar 2020 14:06:47 +0000

Since Clarity may be opening models to create PDF exports sometimes that model reports a Coordination Review is required.

Report this back to the host to alert the model manager to go check out why and do the Coordination Review.

Take PDF output from Revit using Clarity and then upload to the Plans folder in BIM360

Mike Rohwer — Tue, 30 Jul 2019 21:11:04 +0000

https://forge.autodesk.com/en/docs/bim360/v1/tutorials/document-management/upload-document/

It would be great if on a schedule Clarity could take PDF output of sheets and then upload against the Plans folder and not the Project Files folder.

Task Queue Visible to All Users

Jason Rostar — Fri, 01 Aug 2025 17:15:50 +0000

It would be helpful to have a 'Current Tasks' view that would be available for ALL users of Clarity. Many of our staff are frustrated that when they launch a task, they have no idea if there are 100 tasks in front of them or if they are up next.
