    Automate Design Collaboration on BIM360

    Amber Clark · 3 · Last reply by Jason Mounteer

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

    Publish without Design Options

    Craig Uptmor · 2 · Last reply by Craig Uptmor

    I don't see a way to "Accept Design Options" when publishing models. Am I missing this or can we add it in a future release?

    Don't reset filter/sort settings on task list

    Sam Sampoux · 2 · Last reply by Brooke Peterson

    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,

    Could we get the error type shown in the dashboard?

    Can we split the emails between emails from projects/scheduled tasks and emails from user run tasks?

    Jessica Cardinal · 1 · Last reply by Matt Mason

    We are constantly running automated model checks and publications, which fail due to simple things that the admin can take care of, but all users assigned to that project are getting notified. So we turn off their email notifications, which then causes them to not receive emails when they run tasks themselves.

    Include the Median Hours in the Monthly Report

    Dan Warren · 1 · Last reply by Matt Mason

    I think including the median hours saved in the monthly report would provide a little more context to the monthly report. Providing just the mean implies a symmetrical dataset which I can only assume is not exactly the case. I would guess it's not a perfect bell curve. So, if we could get the median it might provide a little more nuance to understanding where the "average" firm sits in the dataset.

    Post action - E-mail Notification

    Evgeny Kurbatov · 4 · Last reply by Evgeny Kurbatov

    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.

    Navisworks Conversion Task - ability to embed database properties

    Ger O'Sullivan · 0 · Posted

    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,

    Username for Revit Build Change Notification

    Evgeny Kurbatov · 0 · Posted

    When I receive a Revit Build Change Notification I need to make a little investigation – who has the outdated Revit version. I go to the Clarity > Files > Model name > Timeline. There I can see all the people synched the model. I try to understand who synchronized the model at the time when the message was sent. Sometimes a few syncs happen in short period of time, and I can make a mistake about the person. It would be nice to avoid all that hassle.

    Could you please add the username to the Revit Build Change Notification?

    Thank

    Open IFC models and save as RVT

    Frank Bolha · 1 · Last reply by Andrew Beazley

    Would be nice to have a task for opening IFC models and saving as an RVT. This would come in handy for projects where architects are working in ArchiCAD or other applications outside of Revit where the native files for Revit would be IFC. Manually doing a conversion of IFC to RVT can take some time for users, so automation of this type of work will benefit projects where external parties are working in applications outside of Revit and we are using Revit. 

    This could be something along the lines of updating the Model Upgrader task to look for both

    Journal files accessible from Clarity interface

    Steve Cardinal · 0 · Posted

    Typically the users responsible for tasks don't have access to the task servers themselves to review the journal files referenced by the failed task. It would be very helpful if the system could allow access to those journal files or place copies of them in a location that is accessible via the Clarity interface. Maybe something similar to how the host logs are accessible. It would go a long way in enabling these users to troubleshoot the failures themselves.

    Remove all XREF-ed images and PDFs from the DWG exports

    Yavor K. · 2 · Last reply by Matt Mason

    Remove all (or embed)  XREF-ed images and PDFs from the DWG exports similar to ‘Remove PCP Output Files’ option.

    In our case we end up with tens of .jpeg and .pdf files because of the nature of some sheets we export from revit.

    Place the Check Engine Score line in the model metrics window

    Dan Warren · 0 · Posted

    Would it be possible to add line on the model metrics scatter plot?

    In the below I'm comparing score to warnings. And I can see the low and high for our warnings based on our firm standards. I think it might be helpful to see the check engine score line when viewing the model score metric.

    Add Update NWF File Task

    Mike Smith · 2 · Last reply by Derek Becher

    Add task to be able to update NWF file with exported NWC files on a daily basis.  The only current option is to create a new NWF file which doesn't help when needing an up-to-date NWF file everyday.  The current task option will remove saved viewpoints, search sets, clash tests, etc.

    All the task would need to do is open the NWF file > update NWC files (which Navisworks does upon opening) > Save the file > Close.

    When on the All Project page, and select the list view.  Add a button at the bottom of the page so that you can export the Clarity projects.

    Make task server version upgrades happen through the server just like minor updates

    Ken Etter · 0 · Posted

    It would be great if task servers could pull their version upgrades from the Clarity server just like they do for minor updates!  This would be a nice time saver.

    All emails from Clarity should be controllable and controls should be documented

    Ken Etter · 1 · Last reply by Matt Mason

    We had a user report that she was receiving "changed Revit build" notifications.  She did not want to receive those but the only way we could find to stop them was to stop all emails on her Clarity account.  Clarity needs to have a more granular and/or documented approach to email notifications so we know how to control the notifications.

    Navisworks conversion task

    Derek Becher · 0 · Posted

    When I run this tasks and it times out it still processes the post action task. It would be better to not process the post action tasks as it could be operating on an incomplete file or the old version.

    Administrators select and run multiple tasks

    Sidney Griffin · 2 · Last reply by Sidney Griffin

    In 'Setup Tasks' window, my suggestion is to maintain focus on filtered list of tasks after selecting edit or run to support running many non-scheduled tasks easily. Alternatives are to allow a preselection of tasks to run (radio box > run all selected) or create the ability for administrators to string together already established tasks to run concurrently on group execution. We may want to run the same task on multiple projects periodically (not on a schedule).
