Clash Reports

The Report tab of the Clash Detective control bar is used to write reports containing details of all the clash results found in the current test. You can write a text file, an html or xml file containing jpegs of the viewpoints of the clashes or simply save the clash results as a list of viewpoints for review by a JetStream user without the Clash Detective plugin.

Reporting clash results

1. In the Contents box select all the information you want to appear in the report for each clash result. This can include Smart Tag properties relating to the items involved in the clash, how to find them in the standard selection tree from root to geometry, whether images or TimeLiner task information should be included, clash status and so on.

2. Check those clashes in the Include Clashes box to select which clashes you want to include in the report based on status.

3. Select the type of report from the Report Type drop down list:

   • Current Test creates a single file for the current test.

   • All Tests (combined) will create a single file containing all results from all tests

   • All Tests (separate) will create a separate file for each test containing all results.

4. Select the format of the report from the Report Format drop down list:

   • XML will create an .xml file containing all the clashes and a jpeg of their viewpoints alongside their details. On choosing this option, you will need to select or create a folder for the files and enter a name for the xml file.

   • HTML will create an .html file containing all the clashes and a jpeg of their viewpoints alongside their details. On choosing this option, you will need to select or create a folder for the files and enter a name for the html file.

     Note

     To customize the appearance or layout of the html file, you will need to edit the clash_report_html_lang.xsl file, where lang is a code representing your language. The installed file is located in the stylesheets subdirectory of the JetStream install directory. You can copy the edited file to the stylesheets subdirectory of any of the JetStream search directories. See the section called "Search Directories" in the chapter called "Interface" in the Roamer book for more information.

   • Text will create a .txt file containing all the clash details and the location of a jpeg of each clash.On choosing this option, you will need to select or create a folder for the files and enter a name for the txt file.

   • As viewpoints will create a folder in the saved Viewpoints control bar, called the name of the test. Each clash is saved as a viewpoint in this folder, with a comment attached containing the clash result details.

5. Click the Write Report button to write the report.
