Is There A Simpler Way To Check For Clashes In 3d Design Models?

As part of the overall project delivery process, it is increasingly becoming a requirement to deliver a clash resolved model. Why? Because determining the presence, location and severity of interferences within the digital environment is more simple and cost effective than trying to manage and fix issues as they arise during construction.

With an increased number of design models being created in 3D modelling applications, there are greater opportunities for managing this process in a more controlled environment. Whether you’re a specialist contractor, a lead architect, or a consultant offering a clash detection service, Navisworks Manage and Clash Detective provides you with the tools to check for clashes in your own model, or in a federated model of project files from multiple delivery teams.

Navisworks Manage and Clash Detective produce clash points and automatically generated reports, resulting in more productive review meetings with outcomes more readily reached and definitive calls to action.

Of course, finding clashes and producing reports is only one part of the story. There has to be processes, procedures and outcomeseginternal decisions or defined as contractual requirements.

Whether you are thinking about investing in Navisworks Manage to check your own project models for clashes, your clash detection is carried out by a third-party consultant, or whether you have already invested in Navisworks, there are many things you should be considering:

  • What training courses are available?
  • Is ongoing support available during initial adoption?
  • Are we using Navisworks to its full potential?
  • How do we formulate an effective clash detection strategy?
  • How can we minimise the number of clashes reported?
  • How can we effectively distribute the relevant information?
  • Can someone else run this for us as a service?
  • Are we receiving clash reports to the standard and level we expected?

I am sure you will have many other questions, but whatever your interest, Excitech have a team of experienced Application Specialists and Consultants to offer guidance, training and support.

Whilst the primary interest in Navisworks Manage is Clash Detective, Navisworks Manage also has a wide range of other tools to assist with tasks ranging from marking up views to visualisation, animation and quantification. 

If you are interested in finding out more about Clash Detection using Navisworks Manage or any of the topics raised here, then contact your Excitech Account Manager or visit our website to see training courses involving the use of Navisworks Manage and Clash Detective at:
