About Clashes

When supported file types are added to a coordination space folder in Docs, they are automatically analyzed for intersecting geometry in the models. This is called clash detection and the results are shown in a few ways:

• The Models tool: The clash column in the models list shows the total number of clash groups for each model.
• The Clashes tool: The clash grid shows the total number of clash groups for each model, and also total number of clash groups for a pair of models.
• The viewer.

The clash column and clash grid provide a high level overview of problem areas, with the viewer then enabling more granular review of these clashes using dynamic filtering tools.
