What Is IMAGINiT Clarity?
Centralised BIM Automation for Design and Engineering
IMAGINiT Clarity enables organisations to automate time-consuming BIM and CAD operations through a centralised platform. Instead of manually opening models, exporting drawings, creating reports or distributing files, Clarity executes predefined tasks automatically, either on demand or according to a schedule.
Designed for multidisciplinary project environments, Clarity helps teams standardise workflows, improve document accuracy and maintain consistent project information across multiple applications, offices and stakeholders.
By combining task automation, data analytics, model management and integration capabilities, Clarity transforms repetitive BIM administration into reliable, repeatable processes.
How IMAGINiT Clarity Works
A Unified Hub for BIM Automation
IMAGINiT Clarity works by managing Projects with tasks and analytics through the Clarity Management System (Host Server) and then tasks running on Task Servers, which to run Windows, Revit and AutoCAD tasks.
Projects are connected to a Data Source (e.g. Autodesk Forma, Network Drive, OneDrive) and Tasks and Analytics can be run on-demand, on schedule, synch to central or on trigger (e.g. parameter change in Revit) and then outputs can be published in destination storage locations.
Users run on-demand tasks through the Revit Clarity Add-in or by logging into the Clarity System via web-browser.

Challenges in Architectural Practices using Revit, AutoCAD and Construction Systems
Common BIM Automation and Project Management Challenges
Organisations operating Autodesk Revit, AutoCAD and other BIM applications without centralised automation often rely on manual processes, disconnected systems and individual staff to manage repetitive project tasks. As project complexity increases, these limitations create operational bottlenecks, reduce productivity and introduce inconsistencies across design and engineering workflows.
Manual BIM Processing
Staff must repeatedly open individual BIM models to manually export PDFs, DWGs, IFCs and other deliverables, consuming valuable time across multiple projects.
Repetitive Administration
BIM coordinators spend significant time on routine tasks such as printing, publishing, backing up models, managing files and distributing documentation across project teams.
Inconsistent Deliverables
Different teams follow varying procedures, naming conventions and documentation standards, resulting in inconsistent project outputs, increased errors and additional quality assurance requirements.
Limited Model Visibility
Model health, BIM standards compliance and project performance are monitored manually or infrequently, making it difficult to identify problems before they escalate.
Disconnected Project Data
BIM information is distributed across multiple applications, databases and document repositories, requiring manual transfers, duplicate data entry and ongoing reconciliation between systems.
Resource Constraints
Large BIM processing tasks consume valuable workstation resources, preventing designers from working efficiently while models are exported, updated, processed or published manually.
Delayed Information Delivery
Project stakeholders rely on manual publishing, reporting and document distribution, creating delays in accessing current design information and coordinating activities across teams.
Limited Scalability
Increasing project volumes generate additional administrative workloads, requiring more staff and processing resources to maintain consistent documentation, reporting and project delivery standards.
Impacts and Flow-On Effects
The Hidden Costs of Manual BIM Workflows
Without centralised BIM automation, repetitive tasks and disconnected processes create consequences beyond the time spent performing individual activities. These inefficiencies affect project costs, delivery schedules, resource utilisation, information quality and ultimately business profitability.
Operational Challenge | Impact | Flow-On Effect |
|---|---|---|
Manual document production | Increased administrative workload | Higher labour costs and reduced project margins |
Repetitive BIM tasks | Skilled staff spend less time designing | Reduced billable productivity and capacity |
Inconsistent processes | Greater risk of errors and omissions | Rework, delays and increased quality assurance costs |
Poor model health visibility | Problems are identified later | More expensive corrections and project disruption |
Disconnected systems | Duplicate data entry and manual transfers | Inconsistent information and unreliable reporting |
Workstation-based processing | Designers wait for resource-intensive operations | Lost productive hours and slower project delivery |
Delayed publishing | Stakeholders work with outdated information | Coordination errors and potential construction rework |
Limited automation capacity | Processing bottlenecks during peak periods | Missed deadlines and difficulty scaling operations |
Reliance on individual staff | Critical processes depend on specific employees | Operational disruption during absences and staff turnover |

How Clarity Fits Autodesk Workflows
Each day, teams open Clarity to check the latest model view before a coordination meeting or a site query. Design authors, project managers and construction leads look at the same status instead of exporting separate packs. Questions about what changed, what is at risk and what needs a decision can be answered from that shared view before work continues.
Model Health
Track whether models are fit to share. Surface warnings, standards gaps and items that need an author before the wider team relies on the file for design or construction decisions.
Project Status
Give leads a current read on progress across the model set. Milestones, open items and responsibilities stay visible without asking authors to assemble a fresh status pack each week.
Coordination
Help disciplines see shared coordination items in one context. Owners, priorities and next steps can be agreed while there is still time to adjust the model before work reaches site.
Reporting
Produce a consistent project report from the live view. Client and internal reviews no longer depend on rebuilding slides and spreadsheets from exports that may already be out of date.
Model Health
Track whether models are fit to share. Surface warnings, standards gaps and items that need an author before the wider team relies on the file for design or construction decisions.
