    How do I get the name of the workset each Revit link is placed on?

    Scott MacKenzie · 0 · Posted

    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.

    eTransmitting a model from acc

    Dan Warren · 0 · Posted

    I've been puzzling this out for a couple days and I'm stumped. If I wanted to make the process of downloading a prepping a model for eTransmit from BIM 360/ACC, how would I do that?

    The process I'm trying to replicate:

    1) Publish the target model and all linked models 2) Download the target model and all linked models to a local location 3) unzip the downloaded file from BIM 360/ACC 4) Open the target model and save as central file 5) Confirm all links are now relative 6) SWC / Close 7) eTransmit target model (and run cleanup tasks)

    Can Clarity generate a report of schedules in multiple models?

    Tom Kemp · 2 · Last reply by Tom Kemp

    We have a project with several models and I would like to generate a report of all of the schedules that exist in each model.  I don't need all of the 'internalxx' variations of things like revision schedules and keynote legends.  Is there a way to do this?

    Help me understand the differences between these two tasks

    Dan Warren · 1 · Last reply by Matt Mason

    I'm comparing the Backup Project and the BIM360/ACC Download tasks. They both seem to do the same thing but with slightly different means.

    The Backup Project task is more of a true backup for BIM360/ACC (appears to pull additional information like Issues, checklists, RFIs, linked files etc). This information (which could be quite a lot) is then zipped and put in a designated location (on the host or a server location). This appears to work with live Revit models (and apparently it will bundle in linked files if it can find them). 

    The BIM360/ACC Download task seems to be more

    Email file from Task output directly to the user

    Brooke Peterson · 1 · Last reply by Matt Mason

    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

    How best to edit credentials in Power Bi to the data source so that I can schedule refresh of data automatically

    Bruce Gunderson · 1 · Last reply by Matt Mason

    I am trying to create project dashboards of the revit rooms and areas in power bi. I would like to setup the data set to automatically schedule a refresh of the data as Clarity updates the data once a week. I do not want to go into each projects dashboard in power bi desktop to refresh.

    Power bi is asking to edit the credentials and I am unsure how best to input this information so that Microsoft can view the data and refresh.

    Thanks,

    Duplicate Model Metrics: # of Warnings vs. # of All Revit Warnings

    Dan Warren · 0 · Posted

    Looking at our metrics across all our projects we have 7 projects that seem to be returning a few different metrics. So, the following question came up:

    Is there a difference between these two metrics?

    Additionally, the following metrics appear to be similar:

    # of High Warnings v. # of Warnings - High Severity # of Medium Warnings v. # of Warnings - Medium Severity # of Low Warnings v. # of Warnings - Low Severity

    The alerts are based on the former for each example. Does it matter? Is there a way to get all projects to report under

    Set BIM360 Download Zip File Name

    Dan Warren · 0 · Posted

    Is there a way to control the output file name of the BIM360 Download task? 

    I am unable to control the name of the .zip file that is created. We use Panzura and it would be preferable to overwrite the same .zip file when the backup task is run as opposed to creating a new .zip every month.

    how best to link ceiling height to room?

    Bruce Gunderson · 1 · Last reply by Matt Mason

    I would like to be able to view ceiling height in a json shape file in power bi. I am unable to find the best report for linking that connects the relationship of the rooms with the ceilings and its height. I noticed that the Room Data sheets have this ability but wanted to capture in power bi with the json file.  Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks,

    Clarity Publish Revit files

    Can you tell me if "Publish" in this context means Publish in BIM360 or Publish in terms of ISO19650. It seems to be the latter but I want to achieve the former

    clarity [Project] keyword in BIM 360 Backup Task

    Dan Warren · 1 · Last reply by Dan Warren

    Had a unique issue happen for the first time in ever.... almost all of our BIM 360 Backup tasks failed yesterday. They all use the same naming convention:

    \\\shared\projects\\[Project]\clarity\BIM 360 Backup

    we use this convention on MANY tasks, but last night over 50+ of our BIM 360 backup projects failed. Many however created these lovely " [Project] " folders on our server that once explored have BIM 360 backups in them.

    I moved the backups to their correct folder and cleaned everything up. but these same tasks have been running for months without issue until last night.

    The only thing

    Linking file Clarity files timeline graphics on other webpages with their previews

    sunlee · 1 · Last reply by Matt Mason

    Hi,

    I am trying to use the timeline graphic of a file in Clarity in other webpage.

    I am trying to link the graphic to a webpage called Notion(https://www.notion.so/) page and use it to manage the status of each projects.

    However, could not find a way to directly link the graphic or have the preview of it. If you see the attached "Notion_Link Embed 1", only a link is shown when you embed a webpage not the preview. However, when a Youtube video is linked, it shows preview of it's content. And what I wish to have on this page

    How does BIM 360 Mitigate work?

    Bruce Gunderson · 1 · Last reply by Matt Mason

    Trying to connect to partner HUB/project to push .rvt files. 

    Need to push .rvt files from Project A on HUB 1 to Project B on HUB 2.

    Clarity is associated with HUB 1. Clarity is an Admin to HUB 1 and Project Admin to Project A.

    Clarity is invited to Project B as Project Admin on HUB 2. It is not associated to HUB 2 as Admin.

    Based on Help for BIM 360 Mitigate I need to create a Clarity project associated with Project B on HUB 2. The Target project would be Project A on HUB 1.

    While using Filename Builder why will VIEW and SHEET not populate on my projects?

    Carl Brown · 3 · Last reply by Carl Brown

    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
