Adding a Project

Projects can only be added to Clarity by administrators, or by Project Coordinators if the capability has been granted to them in the Server Settings.

To set up a project based on an existing template Project:

Project Types

Projects in Revit Server

If Clarity Security is installed:

You can create secured Projects on this server.
Clarity creates a new folder for your Project using the Clarity convention.
You can populate the Project by importing models from a specified folder on disk.

If Clarity Security is not installed or your Revit Server is elsewhere:

Set a Revit Server Network path to the folder that represents your Project (i.e. RSN://myserver/2017/200032/BIM)

Projects using traditional Revit files and worksharing

You must specify an existing UNC path to the folder where the Revit files live.
Choose the "Include Subfolders" if you want to have Clarity scan for RVT files through all subfolders of the folder you specify.
Note: Do not specify a mapped drive location, because the drive mapping might not be available for the web application user. You should always use a "UNC" path (i.e. \\myserver\share\folder).
Clarity now enables you to pick a top-level project folder, and then additional subfolders in order to limit the amount of folder scanning that needs to be done.

Projects in Collaboration for Revit (BIM360 Teams)

Before performing this operation, you must have defined the OAuth credentials used to connect to BIM360.

First, you might need to select the OAuth credentials to be used to define/access the BIM360 project.
Then select the hub and project in BIM360 that the Clarity project refers to.
In BIM360, it is possible to organize your files into folders (although these folders are not visible in Revit). If you would like Clarity to monitor a subset of all the files within the project, choose a subfolder that contains the Revit files you want to monitor. This is recommended when working with large Projects in order to limit the amount of items that need to be re-scanned to detect changes.

Projects in BIM 360 Document Management (Next Gen)

Before performing this operation, you must have define the OAuth credentials used to connect to BIM360.
First, you may need to select the OAuth credentials to be used to define/access the BIM360 project.
Then select the account/hub and project in BIM360 that this Clarity project refers to.
(The account administrator must have given permission for Clarity to access the hub, as described here).
Within BIM360, it is possible to organize your files into folders. If you would like Clarity to monitor a subset of all the files within the project, choose a subfolder that reflects the Revit files to monitor. This is recommended when working with large Projects in order to limit the amount of items that need to be re-scanned to detect changes.
In Revit 2019 and higher, there is an option to have tasks open the "Live Model" versus the "Published Model".
The "Hide Shared/Consumed" option will hide Revit files found in those folders within BIM360.
The "Include Uploaded Models" option will include Revit files that were added to the project via a drag-and-drop style upload, rather than just Cloud Workshared Revit models.

Projects in Bentley ProjectWise* (if installed)

You can select the ProjectWise datasource and Project that corresponds to your Clarity Project.
In the ProjectWise project, you can select the subfolder that contains the Revit files. Selecting the appropriate subfolder minimizes the amount of effort involved in monitoring all of the folders for new/changed Revit files.
