Clash Results

To view clash job results, from the Task-based Tools zone, select the Clash Detection tool. The Clash Detection screen opens.

If you have created a clash job, the clash job name displays in the list in the Clash Jobs tab in the Content Management zone on the middle left. The More Options icon displays to the right of each clash job name in the clash job list. When you select the More Options icon, you can select Edit which takes you to the Edit Clash Job screen for the active clash job and allows you to modify the clash job. You can also select Delete to delete the clash job, and you can select Share to share clash jobs between devices or with other users in your CONNECTED Project. When a clash job is shared, the Shared icon displays to the left of the clash job name. You can also select Process to process the clash job. When you have processed the clash job, the Clash Jobs tab displays information about the clash job, including the number of clashes.

Viewing Clashes

To view the clashes for a processed clash job, first make sure the clash job is enabled. A checkmark displays next to enabled clash job names in the Clash Jobs tab. If the checkmark does not display, select the clash job name to enable the clash job. The clashes for all enabled clash jobs display in the clash list on the bottom edge of the screen. Each clash issue has a set of editable fields, and may contain redlines, attachments, and comments. From the toolbar of the clash list, you can search the clash list or select the Sort icon to select how you want to sort the clashes. You can also move through the clash results one at a time by using the forward and back icons. To view a clash result by itself in the view, select the Isolate Clash Result icon. You can select any row in the list which also selects the associated items in the view, zooms to the items, and opens the Clash Properties tab in the File Browser zone from the middle right, where you can see the location of the items in the model hierarchy. Selecting an element of the model hierarchy displays information about that element in the Properties zone in the bottom left.

Synchronizing Clash Issues

Newly-created or edited clash results are only stored locally and are not available to other project participants

Note: From the Settings window, you can specify settings for synchronization and how the clash issues should be downloaded.

A newly-created or edited clash result displays a triangle

in the first column which means that this clash result has local changes that need to be synchronized. a newly-created clash result gets a unique ID number defined by the project.

Note: If multiple people have edited a clash result before syncing, the last person to sync changes will be the most current.

Editing Clash Issues

Select a clash issue and select the Edit icon. In the Edit issue dialog, you can switch between the different tabs at the top of the form. Once the changes are made, select the Done button.

Note: The available fields on the Clash Issue form can be modified by a project or IT administrator by going to the Project Portal for the desired project and editing the form from the Issue Resolution Service tile.

The Details tab contains all the clash properties.
The Attachments tab lets you create and annotate screen shots of the model.
The Comments tab is a running list of any commentary project participants want to add.

Note: You cannot edit clash issues while the sync is taking place.

Clash Status

From the Details tab of the Edit issue dialog you can set the status of a newly-created clash issue to Open or Accepted. The status automatically changes to Resolved when a clash is no longer detected. If a Resolved clash issue changes, the status changes to Follow Up. When a clash issue is marked Follow Up, you can set the status to Open or Accepted, or keep the status as Follow Up.

Adding Attachments

From the Attachments tab of the Edit issue dialog, select the Add "+" button. The Capture Screen mode opens. When creating a screen capture of the view, first you need to orient the view for the capture. While in the Capture Screen mode, you can orient the view by using standard mouse and gesture controls or by using the tools in the Tools Menu. Once the view is oriented the way you want it, select the Capture button in the upper right. Selecting the Back button in the Tools Menu takes you back to the Edit issue dialog.

Once the view is captured, the Annotate Attachment screen opens. Here you can add redlines to the attachment before saving it. From the Tools Menu you can choose to draw free hand shapes, clouds or add text to the attachment. Selecting the Back button takes you back to the Capture Screen mode. Once you have made your annotations, select the Save button (checkmark icon) in the upper right to add the attachment to the clash issue.

Note: Attachments can be added to a clash issue at any time but you cannot edit or delete an existing attachment.
