Navisworks Task Setup

1. Specify the view(s) you want to export by using a view set, or expression
   1. Selecting the ….. brings up options to use Expressions or View/SheetSet Selection options
   2. Expression example for views that contain 3D Navis
      1. View Name=~3D Navis
      2. If you have done a Revit Database Export on the model, you can see the sets that are available to export if you prefer to

The DWG task is a Revit Task Server task to export DWGs from the Revit model.

They will be exported in the default version of Autocad set up in the Revit model Export Settings if a specific version is not specified in the task setup.

This would be the version you would see when you export manually from Revit by default.

These are the same as all other tasks and can be referenced in this blog post:  https://imaginit.helprace.com/i746-clarity-task-basics-setup-above-the-line

Worksets:  All or those specifically needed to produce the dwgs if you want to be selective.

When setting up a Clarity task on a scheduled time, there are some things to keep in mind.

• Scheduled tasks are controlled by the Clarity Monitoring Service that runs on the host.

  • If the Monitoring service is not running, scheduled tasks will not run.

• Tasks must be set to Enabled ‘Yes’
• The time the tasks run is based on the equivalent time in the host timezone.
• If the task is set to ‘Only on Change’
  • Has the model date changed since the last time the task was run? (using the date as shown on the project homepage)
  • Has the task definition

As of Clarity 2023 we have had the ability to set the task server to perform the post action locally.  This applies to all post actions.  The one thing to be aware of is, depending on the type of post action and where it is processed, the identity can be different.

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

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.

There are several factors that control or impact task processing, please refer to the information below.

Types of Task Servers

There are several types of Task Servers that can be enabled in the Clarity task tray.  For each of these, the proper identity must be associated to it.  For Revit tasks, the logged in windows session should be the designated Clarity account.  For the Windows task server, the service account identity needs to be the “log on” in that service.  Forge requires credentials and a key.

• Clarity Revit Task Server
  • This will process tasks that require opening the Revit model.
