■ Specified Selection Sets - any items found clashing that are contained
within two specified Selection Sets are not reported in the results.
■ Specified Properties with the Same Value - any items found clashing
that share the same value, but on two different properties are not reported
in the results. This is a new rule template. This rule also enables you to
look for the property on any parent object. For example, the gasket at the
end of a pipe is registered as a clash with the nozzle of pump. These items
should be connected. The gasket itself does not have any property attached
directly to it to identify that it should be attached to the nozzle of the
pump; however the parent object of the gasket does. If you use this
template, the clash test ignores clashes between these two items.
