Export Clash Tests

Tests can be set up to clash items based on generic properties, including direct property selection on the Selection A and Selection B panes of the Select tab, or using pre-defined Search Sets.

For example, you may have saved a Search Set that finds all pipes of a specific size, named “100mm Pipes”. Your test then clashes all 100mm pipes against the entire model. Exporting this clash test enables you to import it into another model, which will automatically set up a clash test between 100mm pipes and the entire model.

Note: Any clash tests that are based on explicit selections will not be exported. For example, clashing one layer against another is not a valid test for exporting. To achieve this, use the Find Items dockable window (SHIFT+ F3) to search for each layer based on a specific property (for example: Item, Name). These searches can then be saved as Search Sets, and finally selected on the Selection A and Selection B panes of the Select tab in the Clash Detective window.

You can also select all loaded files on the Selection A and Selection B panes of the Select tab and Clash Detective will treat this as selecting the entire model.

Multiple generic tests can be set up and exported for use by other Autodesk Navisworks users, or by yourself on other projects.
