Export Clash Tests
Tests can be set up to clash items based on generic properties, including direct
property selection on the
Left and Right Panes (page 674) of the Select tab, 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. Exporting this clash test enables 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, use the Find Items dockable window (SHIFT+ F3) to search for
each layer based on a specific property (for example: Item, Name). These searches
can then be saved as Search Sets, and finally selected on the Left and Right Panes
(page 674) in the Clash Detective window.
You can also select all loaded files on the
Left and Right Panes (page 674) 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
Autodesk Navisworks users, or by yourself on other projects.
