    Troubleshooting Clarity Errors

    Dan Warren · 4 · Last reply by Matt Cantwell

    I'm looking for some guidance on how to troubleshoot some specific errors that keep popping up in our clarity task queue. Some of these are benign errors and some are production delaying errors.

    1) How can I reduce the number of "Task Timeout: Task sat in a 'Claimed' status for too long!" errors?

    I'm seeing this error a lot. I have noticed the following characteristics - The error tends to occur when the task server is opening larger models and downloading a local copy. Is there a way I could dive deeper into what's causing this specific error? I've tried

    Dynamo Workspace Refresh

    Scott Michaud · 1 · Last reply by Matt Mason

    I noticed that as the Dynamo scripts do not launch the Dynamo Workspace I cant not use any python commands that reference it. IE using it to get the version of dynamo installed when using nodes to send settings, history, pc infor back to a SQL database for tracking. The other thing is as it is not launching the workspaces some python does not execute. Autodesks answer is to put a boolean node and switch it from one to the other to trick the python block to run again (requires you to hit run twice). Unlike when its ran in

    New BIM 360 Migrate task

    How do we know this is running successfully? There is no update or log in the task status.

    Looking at the Admin Console log, there appears to be some BIM360 Upload activity, but nothing is being reported. Can't see any files appearing in the target hub.

    Disconnected from central

    Evgeny Kurbatov · 0 · Posted

    Hello,

    The eTransfer command generates an interesting version of the target Revit file - it is disconnected from any central file. I would like the "Publish Revit Model" task would be able to create such file. 

    Why. I run the task and it creates a target tile in a network folder. Then I upload the file to BIM36o. And here is a problem - I cannot link the file properly. I believe it happens because the BIM360 file is a copy of the task created networked (central) file and it is considered as a local file. When we link a

    custom revit model file name

    Evgeny Kurbatov · 4 · Last reply by Craig Uptmor

    Hi,

    I use the Publish Revit Model task and want to customize the output filename by client's requirements. I can't find a Filename Builder or just an ability to type its name directly. Do I miss something?

    Thank you,

    Evgeny.

    Should Clarity be able to see the deleted files in BIM 360 Docs?

    Anthony Harwood · 1 · Last reply by Matt Mason

    Hi!

    I have deleted a model in BIM 360 Docs but Clarity still runs tasks on it. Has anyone else run into this? I tried to purge the model from the deleted area in BIM 360 and cannot see how to. Besides setting up a file filter for the project, is there anything else I can do? I can foresee this becoming a difficult to manage having to monitor deleted files and filtering them out of our tasks.

    Thanks in advance!

    How do you remove old task servers?

    R Robert Bell · 1 · Last reply by Matt Mason

    Our list of task servers in the server console show old task servers, either ones that have been renamed or others that have been decommissioned. I see no way to manage those nor does the documentation describe how the Task Server page is updated. Am I missing information somewhere?

    Can a project be changed from a local server to B360

    Tom Kemp · 1 · Last reply by Matt Mason

    We have a few of projects that are moving from local servers to B360.  At some point in the future they will likely transition back to our server.

    Is there a way to change a project that is already setup in Clarity to work on B360 instead of local files?  And then change it back?

    How many Clarity customers out there are Bluebeam Studio users?

    Matt Mason · 2 · Last reply by Matt Mason

    How about Studio Prime-level users?

    (I believe that Studio Prime is necessary to have access to the API for integrations).

    Thanks,

    Room Data Sheet Room Images

    Tom Kemp · 4 · Last reply by Matt Mason

    I am creating a room data sheet and I would like to include graphics of the plan that match Revit more closely than the default svgRoom image.

    I have a roomimageexport task that appears to capture images from a set of specific plan views in Revit.  I am struggling with formatting the [roomimage] to display an image.

    Here is the svgRoom image:

     

    This is the same room in Revit

    Clarity 2020.1 task server update 20.1.7.0 not working

    Peter DeRooy · 0 · Posted

    This is what appears on the Clarity Task Log Dialog.

    Checking...10:26:41 AM Evaluating 51 tasks... Evaluating Task: Task: 140136: TaskSequence: New Plugin Options: Same mutex is needed, just reuse: {96188ffc-0348-49a2-94c6-8d854786f502}PDFREGISTRYCLARITYPDF An exception while idling was encountered: ArgumentNullException: Value cannot be null.

    the issues is the lasted update 20.1.7.0  dropped an extra DLL in place for non-ProjectWise customers.

    The fix is to search and delete Clarity.ProjectWiseFileAccessor.dll in your Task Server folders for each version.  example C:\Program Files\IMAGINiT Technologies\Clarity Task Server for Revit\2017   , 2018,  2019

    Clarity Dynamo Package

    Tom Kemp · 3 · Last reply by Matt Mason

    We are interested in using dynamo to retrieve some clarity metrics.  It looks like there is a Clarity Dynamo package that includes some nodes to do this.

    http://s3.amazonaws.com/IMAGINiTSoftware/Documentation/Clarity/2020/index.htm#t=Admin___Coordinators_Guide%2FModel_Metrics%2FDynamo_Integration.htm&rhsearch=dynamo&rhhlterm=dynamo&rhsyns=%20

    Where can I download the Clarity Dynamo package?

    Drawing Index report of sheets in a model

    Tom Kemp · 1 · Last reply by Tom Kemp

    We would like to have a report in Clarity that mimics our drawing index in Revit, including some shared parameters that we use to sort and organize the index.

    I created a report of sheets in Clarity for a project that is in Revit 2020 on B360.  That report seems to work just fine.

    I copy it to another project (Revit 2018) and I get an error in the report that data columns are missing.  I think all of the fields I am using are built-in Revit parameters, or shared parameters that we have used for years.  When I try
