The Display Area
Use the following options to enable efficient reviewing of clashes:
Select Filter Select this check box to show only the clashes that involve the items you've selected in the Scene
Area in the Results View. If a clash group does not contain any clashes involving the selected item, the whole
group and its contents are hidden from view.
Clear this check box to display all clash results in the Results View.
NOTE Empty group folders always remain visible. If a group contains any clash involving the selected item, the group
(and all clashes contained therein) remain visible. However, any individual clashes in the group that are not directly
involved with selected item are displayed in italics.
Auto Reveal For an individual clash, selecting this check box temporarily hides anything obstructing the clashing
items so that you can see the selected clash when zooming in on it, without having to move location.
For a clash group, selecting this check box automatically shows the ‘worst’ clash point in the group in the Scene
Area.
Auto Zoom Selecting this check box automatically zooms the camera to show all items involved in the selected
clash or selected clash group.
Clearing this check box allows you to keep the main viewpoint static while flicking through the clashes one by
one.
Save Viewpoint Selecting this check box saves the current view of the clash or a clash group so that when the
clash or the clash group is reselected, the saved view is displayed.
