When setting up a project in Project Analytics, there are 4 main steps:
In this article, we will walk you through the fourth step: establishing company-wide Revit warning categories. You are going to determine which warnings you want to be included in a model health score at a company level.
From the Project Analytics Portal, click on the Settings tab.
You’ll see a list of all of the Revit Warnings that currently exist within your projects being analyzed by Project Analytics.
You are going to determine on this screen what is Critical, what is Non-Critical, and what you can Ignore. Everything that is categorized as “Ignore” or “Uncategorized” will not impact the Model Health Score. Warnings will be “Uncategorized” by default so good practice would be to check on these settings regularly to make sure any new warnings are captured.
You can change the categorization under the Category column.
Once you have categorized all Revit Warnings, select Save in the upper right corner of the screen.
If you notice that you can’t save for some reason, it means that you aren’t in Google Chrome or Firefox.
Setting Up Model Health Indicators for a Specific Project
Now let’s talk about how to set up Model Health Indicators for a specific project. You just established what warnings are important to you at a company level, but now you can sift through these at a project level and identify how you want them to impact the overall health score of a particular project.
Go back to the Project Analytics Dashboard and select the Projects tab and select the project that you’d like to open.
Next, click on the Settings tab.
From here, you can see here each of the indicators that impact your Overall Health Score. You can modify these fields so that your health score reflects exactly what is important to you. For example, let’s say that you don’t think that Revit links are detrimental to your model health. You can choose to ignore that health indicator by checking the Ignore box.
However, let’s say that you find sync time an indication of when a model is becoming less efficient; you can set thresholds for the sync time health indicator. A caution threshold at 90 seconds would affect the model health score a little. If it crosses the Needs Attention by taking more than 180 seconds to sync, the model health score would be affected even more.
Once you are done, click Save.
You can then go back to Revit and sync your data to give you an updated health score in Project Analytics.
