Tests Panel

The expandable Tests panel enables you to manage your clash tests and results, and can be displayed from all Clash Detective tabs by clicking the expand button. It shows all of the clash tests currently set up, listed in a table format, and a summary of the status of all clash tests.

Note: If no tests have been defined then the Add Test and the Import Clash Tests buttons will be displayed at the top of the Clash Detective window.

When you click on a test in the Tests panel the relevant details for that test will be displayed on the different Clash Detective tabs. You can use the scroll bars at the right and at the bottom of the tab to move through the clash tests.

Note: A summary of the currently selected clash test is always displayed at the top of the Clash Detective window. The total number of clashes in the test is displayed with details of open (New, Active, Reviewed) and closed (Approved, Resolved) clashes. If a clash test has been altered in some way since being set up (this might include changing an option, or having loaded the latest revision of the model) that will mean the results may not reflect the latest model or settings, then a warning will be displayed . Right-clicking on this icon enables you to re-run the test.

You can also change the sort order of clash tests. To do this, click the heading of the desired column. This alternates the sort order between ascending and descending.
