If you are running into issues with the Revit DBExport task and want to skip certain categories, you can modify a config file to do that.

Process

This change is Revit version specific!

• You will need to log onto the task server as the designated Clarity account
• Exit the Clarity task tray
• Make a copy of the highlighted config file for the version of Revit you want to change C:\Program Files\IMAGINiT Technologies\Clarity Task Server for Revit\202#\Plugins\RevitDBExport.dll.config
• Change the extension from .config to .orig so we have a backup copy of the original settings
  • 
• Modify the .config file in Notepad

Original file

• Change this
  • <!-- Skip certain tables
  • <add key="SkipTables" value=""/> -->
    • 

Fixed File

Note the highlighted change.  The value needs to match exactly what is in the export or it won't work.

To find a list of table names, look at the logs section of a completed Revit Database Export task.

• Change the Config file value:
  • <!-- Skip certain tables -->
  • <add key="SkipTables" value="RoomGraphics"/>
    • 
  • Save as and change to All Types
  • 
    • If the file is appended with a .txt extension it will not work!
  • If you can't save it in the original folder, save it to the desktop then copy it into the original folder and overwrite.
  • Start the Clarity task tray

Rerun the task.

There is no physical output for this task.

This document will help you decide what settings you need set, to get the information you need.

Time Saver Note

The Revit Database Export task can be run with worksets closed (NONE) to improve efficiency without compromising the data exported, however if you need svg images for datasheets or reports, worksets will need to be on.

Alternately you can use the image export tasks instead for the images.

Task Dialog

Below is an example of a typical setup.  The various options are explained in detail below the image.

Minimal Export

If you are only interested in a minimal database export, for the purpose of populating the task dialogs.

Currently this includes tables such as Revit Models, Categories, Sheets, Revisions, Sheet Sets, Sheet Revisions, 3D Views, Print Settings and Worksets.

Extract Material Quantities

Extraction of Material Quantities is performance-intensive.
Note: Only enable this if you use the Material Quantities Report.

Parameter Extraction Options

Basic:  Only built-in and Project parameters.  This includes all parameters for all categories that you see on the left if you were to start a project with no template.  As well as any Project parameters that you see on the Manage tab, Project Parameters in your project.

Extra:  Basic parameters, plus any parameter referenced in a schedule in the model as shown in the image below.

This would include any shared parameters that were added to the category schedule as a scheduled field.

Exhaustive:  All schedule-able fields in every category of the model (not recommended).

This would include all parameters from all categories even if they were not added to a schedule as a scheduled field.

In the image above, in this example it would include all schedulable parameters shown under available fields.

Multi Model Room Association

In general, Clarity will attempt to determine which Rooms/Spaces equipment resides in, even from other models in the project that have already been processed. If your project contains models that are not coordinated/arranged into a common coordinate system, there may be no reason to attempt to do the extra work to determine this information.

• Yes: Determine the relationship between rooms/spaces and equipment in other models.
• No: Skip this step

Room/Ceiling Extraction

• Yes: Extract the room/ceiling relationship information. This is performance-intensive.
• No: Skip this step

Workset Data

Options to determine how much workset data to extract. Extract element counts is performance-intensive if you are doing it for many worksets:

• Basic:Only User Worksets
• Medium:User Worksets with count of elements
• Advanced:User and View Worksets with count of elements
• Exhaustive:All Workset types (User, View, Family, Standard, etc) and element counts

Model Checker

Varies by configuration, refer to Help

Checkset File  https://interoperability.autodesk.com/modelchecker/hostedchecks/bestpractices-2023.xml  

Example of some of the checks in the best practice xml

• File Size
• Warnings
• Loadable Families
• Purgeable Elements
• Non built in Object Styles
• Model Groups
• Detail Groups
• In-place Families
• Revit Version
• Design Options
• Worksets
• Linked Revit Models
• Linked Cad Files

Index Model Families

The Index Model Families enables you to investigate the families in use within models in your project. This task works in conjunction with the Index Families task, which must be run in advance. It looks at all families in use and updates the content metrics database to indicate the usage of those families. The resulting information is then made available on the Metrics Content page.

Task Server

Optional setting in the task tray to send open times.

<add key="SendFileOpenTimes" value="True" />

Clarity Client

Configuration Settings

This information is reported back to the host.
