Powerful Revit Automation in Clarity 2024

IMAGINiT Technologies has unveiled IMAGINiT Clarity 2024, introducing a host of novel features and streamlined task automation processes to significantly cut down on time spent dealing with manual, low-value tasks.

This enhancement offers heightened workflow efficiencies and improved task dependability, user-friendliness, and integration. As a result, BIM Coordinators gain a more substantial capacity to automate processes across projects, potentially leading to savings of over 200 hours per project annually.

Bill Zavadil, President and Chief Operating Officer at IMAGINiT Technologies, remarked, “Irrespective of whether it’s a startup or a top-tier architectural firm in the Engineering News Record Top 100, our focus has consistently been on translating customer insights garnered from webinars, implementations, and support inquiries into features that effectively tackle the most prevalent challenges.

Our Clarity suite of solutions enhances productivity by liberating time through the automation of manual, time-intensive tasks and the streamlining of administrative procedures. This affords teams the time to collaborate on higher-value design tasks. This is exemplified by the fact that Clarity’s suite of tools has recently surpassed a cumulative saving of 2 million project hours across our customer base since its initial launch in 2012.”

IMAGINiT Clarity 2024 is fully compatible with Autodesk Revit® 2024 and offers comprehensive support for versions of Autodesk Revit and Autodesk Revit Server dating back to 2020, with limited assistance available for Autodesk Revit 2019. Clarity 2024 brings fresh innovations to AEC firms, their BIM Coordinators, as well as their partners and clients, aiming to enhance workflows and heighten team efficiencies. Among the standout features are:

Metadata Enhancement

Clarity 2024 now bolsters metadata support for both Autodesk Construction Cloud and Autodesk BIM 360. Novel time-saving capabilities encompass web-based triggers that automatically initiate tasks upon specific changes within Autodesk Construction Cloud and Autodesk BIM 360 projects. Clarity further facilitates the effortless publication of existing Revit metadata into Autodesk Construction Cloud and BIM 360, seamlessly integrating all available metadata into the model.

For firms adopting ISO 19650 principles for building information management, Clarity facilitates the integration of the latest workflows by leveraging file metadata, ensuring team members employ documents as intended.

Enhanced Unified Sync

Clarity 2024 introduces an array of features that enhance the Unified Sync process across teams and external partners.The innovative Unified Sync Task centralises the file synchronization procedure, replacing multiple steps and tools with a unified, consistent dropdown menu that harmonizes data across platforms. This simplifies and accelerates the process by eliminating the necessity for diverse tools or interim data storage during synchronisation across platforms.

Unified Sync Task now offers support for Box, Dropbox, Google Drive, and Egnyte, augmenting the already extensive list of supported tools, including Autodesk Construction Cloud, Autodesk BIM360, Network Folder, ProjectWise, Procore, Microsoft Teams, OneDrive, and SharePoint.

In response to customer feedback, the Folder Name Mapping feature enables seamless synchronisation or backup of folders between cloud services, even when teams employ distinct folder structures. Users simply document the differences through an intuitive wizard, and Clarity subsequently ensures accurate mapping moving forward.

Further Integration Enhancements

Teams utilising Autodesk Desktop Connector version 16 are limited to 40 active projects per machine. However, Clarity 2024 now continually assesses the task queue that requires processing and automatically and dynamically activates or deactivates projects to accommodate the processing of all necessary tasks each day.

Operating around the clock, Clarity cycles through projects, guaranteeing that the maximum of 40 projects per machine is never exceeded, all while seamlessly managing tasks on each server to fulfill all required tasks.

Unifying Project Data at All Phases with Egnyte and Autodesk

Unifying Project Data at All Phases with Egnyte and Autodesk

A successful building project requires vast data, from architects’ drawings to engineers’ calculations to builders’ material lists. Projects can quickly become chaotic without a platform to unify and manage this data as important information gets lost in the shuffle. That’s why it’s vital to have a system for unifying design and construction project documents. By unifying all the data in one platform, everyone involved in the project can easily access the information they need when they need it. This not only saves time and prevents frustration but also helps to ensure that the project is completed on schedule and within budget. In short, unifying project data is essential for ensuring the success of any building project.

As anyone who has ever worked on a building project knows, architects, engineers, and builders often work with many different information sources. In the past, this data was usually stored in separate applications, making it difficult to get a holistic view of the project. By integrating those applications you are helping to ensure that everyone is on the same page and that no critical details are overlooked. This also helps to streamline the construction process by eliminating the need for manual data entry. As a result, building projects run smoothly from start to finish.

Egnyte Autodesk accelerates the pace of project activity. When integrated with Autodesk’s Revit, AutoCAD, and Construction Cloud, Egnyte’s solution unifies, protects, and controls all project data, making it easy for architects, engineers, and builders to collaborate on projects and ensure that everyone is working with the most up-to-date information. Working in concert, Egnyte and Autodesk improve project coordination, reduce errors and omissions, and accelerate project delivery.

The Egnyte Autodesk integration provides capabilities to access files at any time and any place:

For Revit files

Preview files without using specialized software, including the ability to quickly rotate, zoom, and measure within the file.
Develop custom workflows.

For AutoCAD files

Users access, update, and create new files all from within AutoCAD.
Users can save drawings back to Egnyte for enhanced file sharing and management.
Users leverage Egnyte’s robust versioning control and security settings to ensure you are constantly working on the right file at the right time.

For Construction Cloud

Create custom integrations that intelligently synchronize documents between Egnyte and your PlanGrid, BIM 360, Pype, and Autodesk Build projects. This helps teams organize information and stay updated.
Automatically push marked-up drawings from Autodesk Construction Cloud into Egnyte.
Ensure all project documents are in a single location and enforce compliance and governance policies across your organization, including archive and retention policies.

Egnyte’s native integration with Autodesk is a dream come true for architects, engineers, and builders who want to unify their data. By integrating the two systems, accuracy is increased, efficiency is gained, and time is saved. Architects can easily find the files they need with the help of the search function, and engineers can quickly retrieve the data they need for their projects. In addition, builders can use the revision history to see which drawings have been changed and make it easy to stay updated on the latest changes. Thanks to the Egnyte Autodesk integration, working with data is now easier and more efficient than ever.

The combination of migrating our project data to Egnyte, and then integrating Egnyte with our Autodesk environment, improved our operations so much that our executive team took notice. That success gave us the credibility to propose other ambitious IT projects.

Blaine Crawford l Director of IT, C.W. Driver Cos.

C.W. Driver integrated Egnyte and Autodesk Construction Cloud to ensure project teams both in the office and on project sites work with the most current information. By deploying this integration, they connect the project teams and share information more efficiently. As a result, they can deliver better results to our clients in a shorter amount of time. And that’s something everyone can benefit from. Read their case study to learn more about C.W. Driver’s journey.
