To Link to Object Animation for Soft Clashing

To link to object animation for soft clashing

1. In Autodesk Navisworks open the project model file, which contains the object animation scenes.
2. If the Animator window is not already open, click Home tab Tools panel Animator.
3. Play the animation. Check that the animated objects are shown in the correct location, in the correct size, and so on.
4. If the Clash Detective window is not already open, click Home tab Tools panel Clash Detective.
5. Click the Select tab.
6. In the Selection A and Selection B panes, select the objects you want to test.
7. In the Link drop-down box, select the animation scene you want to link to, for example Scene1.
8. In the Step box, enter the Interval Size to use when looking for clashes in an animation.
9. Click the Run Test button. Clash Detective will check at each interval in the animation to see if there are any clashes present. The number of found clashes is displayed at the top of the Clash Detective window.
   Note: If the animation scene is large in size, running this type of clash test will invariably take more time to complete than a normal clash run.

   You can now review the found clashes.
