What's New in IMAGINiT Clarity 2022 - AutoCAD, Revit and BIM Automation, Analytics and Access

This years release of IMAGINiT Clarity is a an amazing release to say the least. Packed full of support for new applications, new features and enhancements, IMAGINiT have turned IMAGINiT Clarity into the ultimate automation, analytics and access system for AutoCAD, Revit and BIM projects.

What is Clarity

For those who are just learning what Clarity is for the first time, it’s a server based application that automates tasks, provides analytics (metrics, business intelligence, etc.) and access for CAD and Non-CAD users to project data, deliverables and tasks.

How IMAGINiT Clarity works - Revit, AutoCAD and BIM automation, analytics and access for non-cad and cad users

AutoCAD Support

Clarity now supports AutoCAD Tasks to automate and gain insights into AutoCAD projects, for environments with mixed CAD packages. Clarity works with all AutoCAD based applications for AEC projects like Civil 3D, Plant 3D, Map 3D, AutoCAD Electrical, etc.

Clarity runs the following AutoCAD tasks:

  • Opt-in to tracking DWG/DST files
  • PDF 
  • eTransmit
  • Navisworks
  • Task Targeting
  • SRC (Headless LISP routines, scripts)
  • BIM 360 / File-based project types
Allowing you to batch process tasks usng the IMAGINiT Clarity system.

Task Dashboard: Pivot Tables

Pivot tables are now supported within the web portal, to be used for administrators to answer questions like:

  • What kind of tasks failed last night?
  • What kind of tasks are running?
  • Which Task Servers are most busy?
  • Which offices use IMAGINiT Clarity the most?
  • What kind of issues are we seeing most often?

PyRevit Scripting

Macros and scripts using Python in Revit are supported by IMAGINiT Clarity 2022, whcih too many is like something in between Dynamo scripting and .NET/Revit API and gives the rapid development capability and full access to the Revit API.

This new addition allows users to run PyRevit scripts or in batch mode on demand or on schedule with your other IMAGINiT Clarity tasks.

 

 

Glue Download

Based on the legacy product, Autodesk BIM 360 Glue, IMAGINiT has added the ability to download projects from Glue.

Procore Synch

IMAGINiT Clarity supports the ability to push files to Procore in previous releases and in 2022, Clarity supports the ability to Sync to Procore.

From / To Synchronisation for Non-CAD files

Instead of solely moving, copying and synching Revit and AutoCAD files or tasks, IMAGINiT Clarity can do this on any file that is stored somewhere else, on demand or on schedule sych as SharePoint, Microsoft Teams, Google Drive, etc.

Native Revit PDF Export

Autodesk has included native PDF export and IMAGINiT Clarity has fully integrated this feature instead of relying on PDF drivers, and IMAGINiT have added this option inside the PDF task options.

BIM 360 and Construction Cloud Enhancements

IMAGINiT Clarity has added the following support for Autodesk BIM 360 and Autodesk Unified Platform Construction Cloud:

  • BIM Collaborate Pro
  • BIM 360 Upload Post Task: Same File
  • BIM 360 Upload Post Task: Folder Structure – match from/to folder structures
  • BIM 360 Project Backup: More Data – Back up more data and meta data
    • Issues
    • Checklists
    • RFI’s
    • Assets
    • Forms (Unified Platform)
  • BIM 360 Data Connector / Extraction – Extract data from BIM 360 
IMAGINiT Clarity Autodesk Constrcution Cloud unified Platform and BIM 360 support and enhancements for 2022

A new server (not project based) task has been added to Clarity 2022 which downloads Account level data from BIM 360 for Business Intelligence.

Autodesk BIM 360 and Construction Cloud through the Clarity task in 2022, downloads CSV’s of t his data and businesses can use apps like Power BI for business intelligence.

Data Reporting

IMAGINiT Clarity has support for easy data integration into Excel, Power BI, Teams and Tableau, etc.

 

Through one-click, an external link is provide which can then be embedded into external systems where reporting is required by using the ‘GetData’ button in the required systems without having to worry about configuring it to work with SQL and setting permissions.

Cross Project Queries

Clarity 2022 manages an index database with everything in one place where administrators can run cross project queries and visualise and analyse data through Business Intelligence systems like Power BI, Excel and Tableau.

Once an external link is generated, credentials can limit which projects are visible.

These queries can answer such questions such as what was the average size of a specific type of room/s in the last 5 projects

Autodesk Construction Cloud

Connect your workflows, teams, and data.

Overview

Build a more connected structure. The Autodesk Construction Cloud  which connects workflows, teams, and data to help you create better.

  • Reduce risk, raise efficiency, and complete projects on schedule and under budget.
  • Improve decision-making speed and accuracy, link your teams, and forecast project outcomes.
  • Go from design to construction all within one platform.
  • Increase the company’s predictability and profitability while driving innovation.

Connect workflows, teams and data at every stage of construction

Autodesk Construction Cloud is an end to end construction solution that bring every project team together from design to turnover on a single construction software solution. Connect workflows and collaborate securely from a single source of truth.

 

 

Connect Construction Workflows

Autodesk Construction Cloud is best-in-class software built for simplicity and power – uniting office, and field teams from design through planning, construction, and operations.

Autodesk Construction Cloud - Design Plan Build Operate

Design

Architects, engineers and project teams can collaborate on coordinated, shared designs – regardless of location, role in the project, or stage of the project. Simplify design development and reduce information loss at handover for better design collaboration. And truly connect design and construction for a more collaborative, more transparent partnership between designers and builders.

Autodesk Construction Cloud helps turn designs from a vision and set of documentation to a living asset that serves the needs of the building throughout its lifecycle.

Autodesk Construction Cloud - Design Plan Build Operate

Plan

Set your projects up for success before you break ground. Improve design quality and constructibility, create accurate takeoffs, and find the right builders for every project. Access the industry’s largest network of builders and vendor qualification management to mitigate risk for every project. Drive successful outcomes with cloud-based technology that automates manual tasks and streamlines collaboration between every project stakeholder.

With Autodesk Construction Cloud solutions, preconstruction teams can execute design intent, bid competitively, mitigate financial risks, and remain profitable by streamlining coordination, model conditioning, quantification, bid management, and qualification.

Autodesk Construction Cloud - Design Plan Build Operate

Build

Construction often operates in a fragmented way, with disconnection between project phases leading to uncertainty throughout the project and an inability to control project outcomes. Connecting issues, RFIs and progress between the office and field, and analyzing that data with machine learning can impact cost, schedule, quality and safety on every job.

Autodesk Construction Cloud helps overcome these barriers by removing siloes, supporting interoperability between work phases and turning project data into actionable intelligence.

Autodesk Construction Cloud - Design Plan Build Operate

Operate

Connect BIM asset data created during design and construction to building operations for model viewing, and access to maintenance checklists, scheduling, and history. With all project teams working in a common data platform, owners gain visibility into project status, changes and problems.

With Autodesk Construction Cloud, improved visibility means more predictable project outcomes and more profitable projects.
