Automatic Assignment Rules

In order to set up successful assignment rules the administrator needs knowledge of how the 3D model is structured and how each discipline will model design items. The administrator needs this to determine the best set of rules for the specific project. Typically, the following situations are considered when formulating the automatic assignment rules:

• Access-ways and Escape routes

• Issued Pipes

• Exotic Materials

• Primary Steelwork

• Issued Secondary Steelwork

• Tertiary Steelwork

• Stress Critical Pipes

• Issued Elements

• Electrical Lighting

• Electrical and Instrument Stands

• Withdrawal Volumes.

As the project progresses and Clash Manager is used in earnest, it is inevitable that the administrator will need to either modify or add to the clash assignment rules. It may be necessary to recompute all or some of the clashes in the database to take account of the new rules.
