4. If you run a time-based, soft, or time-based soft clash test, the start time/date of any clashes are
recorded next to the appropriate Clash under the Start, End columns, together with the event name
(an animation scene or a TimeLiner task) in the Event column in the Clash Detective Results tab. If
multiple clashes are found on a particular date, each individual clash is listed with identical simulation
information.
For more information on reviewing time-based and soft clash testing results, see “Time-Based and
Soft Clash Testing Results”.
5. To rename a clash, click on the name of the clash, press F2 or right-click the clash and choose
Rename. This name will be saved and remembered for future tests.
6. To manually change the Status of clashes, select the new clashes requiring the change, and select a
new status from the drop down list. Multiple clashes can be changed by either holding down the Ctrl
key whilst selecting individual clashes (the last selected being shown in the main view), or by holding
down the Shift key and selecting another clash, thereby selecting all clashes between the two
including the first and last (again, the last selected being shown in the main view). Once the required
clashes have been selected, changing the Status of the currently selected clash updates all those
highlighted to the same status.
7. To enter notes about the clash for others to review, right click on the clash and choose Add
Comment from the context menu. The Add Comment dialog will appear to allow you to enter your
comment.
8. Select the display options you wish to apply:
• Check Select Filter if you want to select an item in the main navigation window and show only
those clashes that involve that selected item.
• Check Auto Reveal if you want NavisWorks to attempt to temporarily hide anything obstructing
the clashing items so that you can see the clash when zooming in on it, without having to move
location.
• Check Auto Zoom if you want to automatically zoom in on the selected clash. Clearing this box
allows you to keep the main viewpoint static while flicking through the clashes one by one.
• Check Save Viewpoint if you want to store the current viewpoint with the result. This allows you
to tailor the viewpoint for a clash result. It also enables redlining to be stored with a clash result.
Note:
Once redlining has been added, subsequent changes to the viewpoint due to navigation will not
be saved. In order to save a different viewpoint, the redlining must first be removed using the
redline Erase tool.
• Check Highlight All if you want to highlight all the clashes found in the main navigation window,
in the color of their status.
• Check Dim Other if you want to turn all items not involved in a clash to gray.
• Check Hide Other if you want to hide all items not involved in a clash in order to focus better on
the clashing items.
