REVIT SERVER
+
CLARITY WAS SELECTED

9. Why Revit Server with Clarity?
‘Revit Server application for Autodesk Revit products.
With server-based worksharing, multiple instances of Revit Server are
installed at different sites and configured to support optimal project
collaboration across a wide area network (WAN). Together, these instances of
Revit Server make up the Revit Server network.’
Clarity adds;
task automation,
liberates information from models,
Central administration.
Lets take a look…

• Users Can access any Revit
server anywhere in the world
• Users must log on to a local
accelerator
• Users only see the files they
assigned
• Controlled by I.T.
permissions matrix

20. Working Within Revit
• Users must connect to their local
