left and right clash selection trees, 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 (see Chapter 51, Selecting Items
for Testing ). Exporting this clash test will enable 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 you will need to use the
Find Items dialog to search for each layer based on a specific property (e.g. Item, Name). These
searches can then be saved as Search Sets and finally selected in the Left and Right selection
trees in Clash Detective.
You may also select all loaded files in the Left or Right selection tree and Clash Detective will
treat this as selecting the entire model.
Multiple generic tests can be set up as a batch and exported for use by other Clash Detective users or by
yourself on other projects.
To export a clash test:
1. Having set up your implicit clash tests, from the File menu, choose Export, Clash Test XML...
The Export dialog is displayed:
