MARTHA HOLLOWELL ORCUTT: Grouping Clashes

00:02

in Clash Detective.

00:04

Now that you have clashes created,

00:06

what do you do with them?

00:07

You want to be able to understand the clash in context

00:11

and assign the clashes to the people who

00:13

can correct the situation.

00:15

It helps to clean up the views and then group the clashes that

00:19

can be assigned to specific disciplines.

00:23

In Navisworks Manage, open the Navisworks file

00:26

set Small Hospital Combined Grouping.

00:29

First, we're going to clean up the view a bit more.

00:31

If the grid is displaying in the view,

00:34

in the View tab, Grids and Levels panel,

00:37

toggle off Show Grid.

00:40

We've already turned off the Architectural Model,

00:43

but you can also hide individual elements in the models,

00:46

either through the selection tree

00:48

or by clicking on an element.

00:52

So I selected one of the floors and then in the selection tree,

00:56

you can see I've got just one type of floor selected,

00:59

but I want all the floors selected.

01:01

So I'm going to select Floors and then right-click and select

01:09

Hide.

01:11

There are other things in here I really don't need,

01:13

and those are some of the electrical items.

01:16

So I'm going to select one of the Electrical Fixtures

01:19

and do the same thing.

01:20

This is a lighting device, and I want

01:23

to go ahead and go to the top level.

01:25

I can also go to the Home tab and click Hide,

01:28

and it does the same thing.

01:32

There's one other little item here

01:34

that is a duplex receptacle Electrical Fixtures,

01:38

and I'm going to go ahead and turn those off as well,

01:40

and I can right-click and Hide in the screen as well.

01:45

The hide is actually a toggle, so if I needed them back on,

01:49

I would select them in the selection tree,

01:52

and then click Hide again.

01:55

Let's hide one more thing.

01:56

In the selection tree.

01:58

I'm going to select Duct Fittings, Ducts,

02:00

and Flex Ducts, and then I can go ahead

02:04

and hide this entire group.

02:06

Later on, we'll talk about creating sets

02:08

and how to make those work better for you.

02:12

Now we're ready to group some clashes.

02:15

So I'm going to open the clash detective

02:17

and select the Results tab.

02:21

If you have a lot of parts in one area,

02:23

they still appear as separate clashes.

02:26

And we want to add some of those clashes that are related

02:29

to each other to groups.

02:33

So I'm going to select Clash 7.

02:36

And you can see that there is a pipe going through the beam.

02:39

But if you zoom in enough, you can also see that there is--

02:43

the pipe fitting is also clashing with this.

02:47

So definitely at least, these two items

02:49

need to be grouped together.

02:50

They are really one item.

02:52

So I'm going to select the beam and the pipes.

02:57

I'm going to select the nearby beam

02:59

as well to check and see if there's

03:01

any additional overlaps.

03:04

Now, back in Clash Detective, I'm

03:06

going to select Filter by Selection.

03:09

And in this dropdown list, you have

03:11

a couple of different options.

03:13

One is to None, which shows all clashes,

03:16

and then you have Exclusive, which

03:18

shows clashes where both of the items selected are showing.

03:22

And you can see here clash 7 and 15.

03:26

Now, Inclusive shows if there are more clashes that may

03:30

be selected in this grouping.

03:32

So again, I do have an additional one.

03:34

It's clash 3, and so I now have several clashes Oh,

03:39

and by the way, when I select on a clash, it auto jumps to it.

03:44

If I want to change my viewpoint,

03:46

I can change it to manual, and then

03:48

when I check one of the other clashes,

03:49

it's going to display the clash, but it's not

03:52

going to change my viewport.

03:53

So that's just a handy tip when you're starting

03:55

to look at things like here.

03:58

So those are my three clashes that are all together,

04:01

all the same system, sanitary system.

04:03

So I'm going to click new group and name this 001 beams

04:09

and sanitary.

04:14

And then I'm going to select all three of the clashes.

04:17

Hold down your Control key and select them,

04:20

and then you can drag them up into the group.

04:24

So I'm going to click out in space to remove my selection,

04:28

change the filter back to none, and now you

04:30

can see in the clashes that I have that group.

04:32

And it shows all the elements being clash.

04:36

Now I'm going to change my viewpoint back to Auto-update

04:42

and click on Clash 1.

04:44

I'm going to need to zoom in here because I'm not actually

04:47

seeing the clash.

04:48

And what it is with a small pipe.

04:50

So here's my clash, and what I need to do is select this beam

04:55

and then change my filter to Exclusive.

04:58

And you can see nothing actually is showing because it's not

05:01

showing an additional item.

05:04

So let's go to Inclusive.

05:05

And now here's all the clashes that

05:07

are clashing with this particular beam.

05:10

I'm going to change my viewpoint to Manual,

05:13

and then I can select on each of my clashes.

05:15

You can see that both of these are going through the beam.

05:18

Therefore, another place for a new group.

05:20

I'm going to call it

05:24

And once again, hold down your Control key,

05:27

and select the clashes, and drag them into the group.

05:33

Now I'll change my viewpoint back to Auto-update

05:37

and my filter to None.

05:39

And I have my two sets of clashes

05:42

along with the rest of the clashes.

05:44

So I should go ahead and continue

05:45

going through all the clashes, checking them out,

05:48

adding anything together.

05:50

So we now have cleaned up our clashes,

05:52

and we're ready to assign them.
