The Select tab is also where you can run a single test from. To run all tests in your batch, use the Update
button on the Batch tab.
The Left and Right Panes
These panes contain a tree view of two sets of items that will be tested against each other during the
clash test and you need to select items in each pane.
At the bottom of each pane, there are several tabs replicating the current state of the Selection Tree
control bar. You can use them to select items for clash tests.
• Standard - displays the default tree hierarchy, including all instancing.
• Compact - a simplified version of the tree hierarchy.
• Properties - the hierarchy based on the items' properties.
• Sets - shows the same items as on the Selection Sets control bar.
Clash testing can be faster, more effective, and easily repeatable if you use selection and search sets.
Carefully consider what sets of objects need clashing against each other and create selection/search sets
accordingly.
Geometry Type Icons
Clash tests can include the clashing of surfaces, lines, and points of the selected items
- clashes item surfaces. This is the default setting.
- clashes items with center lines, for example pipes.
- clashes (laser) points.
The Self Intersect Check Box
Select this check box if you want to test the geometry selection in the pane against itself, in in addition to
testing it against a geometry selection in the other pane.
The Select Current Button
You can also select geometry for clash testing directly in the main NavisWorks window, and on the
Selection Tree control bar.
When you have selected the required items (press and hold CTRL to select multiple objects), click the
Select Current button under the desired pane to create the corresponding clash set.
The Shortcut Menu
Right-clicking in the Left or Right pane opens a shortcut menu:
Import Current Selection - has the same effect as pressing the Select Current button.
Set As Current Selection - selects the items on the main NavisWorks screen.
