Project

Use the functionality to enter project-wide details.

The Project Title, Client, Project Number, Project, Userid, Password fields at the top of the tab are for entry of those project details.

Note:
Each clash set has its own MDB definition used for entry during a clash set run.

Use the Display Units section to select the units in which the values are to be displayed in Clash Manager.

The Apply Group Changes to Clash Detail drop-down list enables the administrator to specify the policy for the project. The selection made here determines whether or not the user can use the facility on the Clash Manager Options window to choose whether or not group changes are applied to clash details within a group.

The options of the drop-down list are:

• Always - group changes are always applied and the user cannot change the policy (recommended)

• Never - group changes are never applied and the user cannot change the policy

• Free - the user can choose whether or not group changes are applied.

The items in the Project Field are for selecting an attribute, the value of which is to be added to the clash report for each clashing item. This additional data is useful for filtering and sorting purposes in the main body of the report.

The Attribute Name field is for specifying the name of the attribute, for example: AREA. Clash Manager will search for the attribute on the clashing item, and if not found there, will search the owning hierarchy for it.

The Description field is for entering the attribute value that appears in the Clash Report.

The Default field is for specifying a default value for the attribute if the attribute is not set.

An example of how an attribute can be used is as follows. Many companies use PURPose as the Attribute Name and the Zone radio button selected for capturing the description of a ZONE’s content over and above the naming convention. The ZONE is named with the Piping Specification PSPE and the Attribute Name PURPose is given a Description PROC for Process Piping and UTIL for Utility Piping. Clash Manager then filters the clash report based on these values.

Note:
The Class, Discipline and Priority tabs have groups of items similar to those in the Project Defined Field box and which have similar functionality.
