Create Custom Clash Tests
Exported clash tests can be used as a basis to define custom clash tests. If you
have a common set of clash tests that you reuse on multiple projects, you can
turn them into a custom clash test. Once installed as a custom clash test, the
entire batch of tests can be selected and run directly from the
Select Tab (page
674). The results from all tests in the batch are combined and presented as the
results of the custom clash test. The name of each test in the batch is displayed
in the Description field of the results.
Custom clash tests are an excellent way to roll out a standardized set of tests
across an organization. They allow the expertise of “power” users to be reused
by everyone. Finally, they can be seen as a way of implementing object
intelligence. For example, a custom clash test could be written that checked
for compliance with a local building code based on object information and
properties defined in a particular CAD system.
To define and use a custom clash test

Export Clash Tests (page 689) to an XML file. The name of the file is used
as the default name for the custom test.
