The status of a clash can also be changed by clicking the applicable Status column cell.
Status options display from a drop down list which include New, Old, Assigned, Accepted
and Follow Up.
Use the Assigned To column to assign the resolution of the clash to a particular discipline or
individual.
The Type column indicates the type of clash, either Soft or Hard.
Grouping Clashes
After processing a clash detection job, there may be too many clashes to review each one
individually. Clashes can be grouped together to consolidate the number of actual clashes that
are tracked. When clashes are grouped, one change will affect all the clashes in the group,
such as changing the status or assignee.
A group can be created by two different methods:
Manually selecting the clashes and grouping them - From the Results tab,
<ctrl-click> to select all the clashes to be included in the group. Right-click, and
from the pop-up menu, select Create Group > From Selection. All selected clashes
are included in the group. To view all the clashes in the group, in the All Jobs list box,
select the group to display the clashes on the Results tab.
Identifying all the clashes that contain a certain element - For example, a run
of duct may clash with multiple elements but the clashes should be tracked as one clash
since moving the duct will resolve all the clashes. In the Results tab, select a clash
that has the element that has multiple clashes to be grouped, right-click and select
Create Group > From Clashes on Element A.
All clashes that have a common element in Set A are now included in the newly created
group.
