    Update Revit File From Disk - Target Path

    Marcos Alonso · 0 · Posted

    How can one specify a path location that is one or two folder before the project/ target path? 

    This path would be the path to where the updated revit file, that has been stripped, will be saved too.

    in short, the idea is to be able to update a revit file that is with in the main project folder but is not within the working directory, which seems to be the target directory as well, as a subfolder.

    Thanks in advance

    Revit 2019 launched manually opens start.rvt on new task server

    Chris Schwanekamp · 1 · Last reply by Matt Mason

    I have just finished setting up a new task server and when starting Revit 2019 manually it opens start.rvt and shows the Clarity task log window as if it's processing a task.  It then sits there waiting until it times out and closes Revit.  I haven't been able to figure out what's causing this or how to "reset" the task that may be stuck on this machine?

    Anyone using BIM360 Model Coordination?

    Matt Mason · 0 · Posted

    The Clarity team is looking at participating in an upcoming Forge Accelerator to implement some ideas for how Clarity might assist with the BIM360 Model Coordination standpoint (whether thru automation, metrics or reporting).

    We'd love to hear people's ideas if you're familiar with both systems.

    Thanks!

    Viewing Reports and PDFs on Clarity

    Jessica Esteban · 1 · Last reply by Jessica Esteban

    I have been testing out the new tasks in preparation for launching company-wide.  When I run the Performance Advisor Report, sometimes the report shows and now most times, it just takes me to a blank page.  I do not understand why nothing is showing up, but the tasks show as completed.  

    In regards to creating PDFs to be able to view via the Clarity viewer, I am not able to view the PDF.  I keep getting the error that the PDF cannot be loaded and it will not load no matter how many times I hit reload.  

    Any and all

    How often should model metrics tasks run?

    Miguel Granja · 1 · Last reply by Matt Mason

    We'd like to get an opinion as to how often should model metrics run on models? I am thinking this task should run on weekends because of the complexity of the task. Any thoughts or ideas are welcomed.

    Thank you,

    Why is workset filtering not available on BIM 360 next gen projects?

    Brendan McFarlane · 0 · Posted

    Load times for BIM 360 next gen projects can be very long when linked models have to be pulled down via the desktop connector. Having the ability to not open link worksets would be a big improvement for tasks that don't need linked model data such as Navisworks/IFC exports.

    diagram not filtering

    michael rawley · 2 · Last reply by Matt Mason

    I tried to create a Air Terminal Diagram, based on the FamilyInstances table as suggested.  But for some reason I am unable to represent what I want.  Filtering does not work.  It looks like its showing every element in the project.

    Task Tray: Above set Instances of Revit Limit

    Mike Underwood · 2 · Last reply by Mike Underwood

    On both of our task servers, the following notification keeps popping up in the task tray:  "IMAGINIT Clarity - Working on the Task Queue (100 tasks) But the server is above the set Revit instances limit.  ClarityTaskTray".

    Tasks are performing successfully, and there are no obvious problems.  Is there a potential issue that could be brewing?  I'm assuming that this may be an indicator that we have a setting that's not quite right. 

    Settings:  Max # of Revits=6, Max Memory Consumption=75%, Allow Task Servers on Multiple Win Sessions=True.  

    Clarity Ver 2019.0.6817, Revit 2019.2.  (I know... We're upgrading soon! (I hope))

    ClarityPDF

    Tom Kemp · 4 · Last reply by Tom Kemp

    How can we control the bookmarks created by the ClarityPDF driver?

    We have a client that utilizes Bluebeam for project reviews with very specific bookmarking requirements.  The ClarityPDF driver is creating a “sheets” bookmark.  Removing this after the fact is a serious chore. 

    The bluebeam pdf driver in Revit has the ability to turn this on/off.  We don't currently have a Bluebeam license to install on our task servers.

    B360 Configuration

    Tom Kemp · 3 · Last reply by Tom Kemp

    We seem to be having trouble with Clarity accessing our B360 projects consistently.

    We have the 0Auth Settings configured for B360 and have updated those credentials.

    The Clarity Task Automation Service Configuration on our task servers is set to automatically login to B360 in Revit.

    We are using the same admin login and password everywhere in Clarity.  That account has access to all of our B360 projects.

    Do we also need to open each version or Revit and login to B360 in order to run tasks on B360 projects?

    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
