Clash Results
Clash Results
The Results tab of the Clash Detective control bar enables you to interactively view the clashes found. On the left is a list of clashes, numbered and sorted by >severity. The list also shows the >status, the distance, the clash point, date found and, if the clash has been approved, who approved it and when it was approved.
Click on a clash to highlight both clashing items in the main navigation window. The "Item 1" and "Item 2" boxes show the Smart Tag properties relating to each item in the clash and also the path through the standard selection tree from the root to the geometry of the item.
Note
Selecting an item in one of these tree lists and then clicking on the SwitchBack button beneath allows the current view and currently selected object to be sent back to the originating CAD package. This makes it very simple to show clashes in JetStream, take them back to the CAD package, alter the design, and reload them in JetStream for a very fast design review turnaround.
For more information on the use of SwitchBack and how to set it up, see the section on SwitchBack in the Roamer documentation.
If the Link to TimeLiner check box was checked, the TimeLiner start time/date of any clashes are recorded next to the appropriate Clash under the Start End and Task columns in the Clash Detective Results tab. If multiple clashes are found on a particular date, each individual clash is listed with identical TimeLiner information.
Clicking on a clash in the Clash Detective Results tab highlights the clash in the main 3D view (with object visibility based on TimeLiner activities), and highlights the appropriate point in the TimeLiner project if available and visible on screen. TimeLiner visibility and colour settings in the 3D view will be overlaid by the appropriate Clash Detective highlight colours.
To rename a clash, click on the clashes name, press F2 or right click on the clash and choose Rename . This name will be saved and remembered for future tests.
To manually change the >Status of clashes, select the new clashes requiring the change, and select a new status from the drop down list. Multiple clashes can be changed by either holding down the Ctrl key whilst selecting individual clashes (the last selected being shown in the main view), or by holding down the Shift key and selecting another clash, thereby selecting all clashes between the two including the first and last (again, the last selected being shown in the main view). Once the required clashes have been selected, changing the Status of the currently selected clash updates all those highlighted to the same status.
To enter notes about the clash for others to review, right click on the clash and choose Add Comment from the context menu. The Add Comment dialog will appear to allow you to enter your comment.
Select the display options you wish to apply:
Check Select Filter if you want to select an item in the main navigation window and show only those clashes that involve that selected item.
Check Auto Reveal if you want JetStream to attempt to temporarily hide anything obstructing the clashing items so that you can see the clash when zooming in on it, without having to move location.
Check Auto Zoom if you want to automatically zoom in on the selected clash. Unchecking this box allows you to keep the main viewpoint static while flicking through the clashes one by one.
Check Save Viewpoint if you want to store the current viewpoint with the result. This allows you to tailor the viewpoint for a clash result. It also enables redlining to be stored with a clash result.
Note
Once redlining has been added, subsequent changes to the viewpoint due to navigation will not be saved. In order to save a different viewpoint, the redlining must first be removed using the redline Erase tool.
Check Highlight All if you want to highlight all the clashes found in the main navigation window, in the color of their status.
Check Dim Other if you want to turn all items not involved in a clash to gray.
Check Hide Other if you want to hide all items not involved in a clash in order to focus better on the clashing items.
Check TimeLiner if you want to see the state of the TimeLiner sequence at the time of the clash (for use with Time-based Clashing - see the TimeLiner documentation for more information).
Check the Highlight check box to override the color of the item in the main navigation window with the color of the status of the selected clash.
Click Select to select a clashing item in the main navigation window. If a selection color is set (by default blue), this overrides the Highlight option, which allows you to highlight the item, in the color of its status.
Click on any of the column headings to sort the table using that column's data. This sorting can be alphabetical, numerical, date-related, or, in the case of the Results->Status column, in workflow order New>Active>Approved>Resolved . Clicking the column heading repeatedly toggles the sorting between ascending and descending.
