Re-run Clash Set Report

Periodically the Clash Check for the Clash Set from the Clash Manager - Clash Sets window can be re-run to check on progress made in resolving the clashes, both by the Display Counts functionality available on the window and by viewing the resultant Clash report for Status changes. When required, the clash status can be checked on all or selected elements by viewing the Element Report. Refer to Run a Clash, Viewing Clash Report and Viewing Element Report for further information.

Following a re-run, a clash detail is deemed to be the same as existing detail, if it is between the same two elements and if the position of the clash is within a tolerance specified when the clash group was organized.

When a clash detail from the current run matches an existing clash detail, the clash level and type of the new instance is compared against the existing recorded details. If the level/type detail has worsened, then the clash status of the detail is revised.

If a user-defined acceptance rule applies to the detail, then the status is recomputed in accordance with the rule. If no rule applies, then the status is set to the default value. If the new clash level/type is the same as before or better, no adjustment is made to the status.

When processing of all the details is complete, the status recorded against each group affected by the run is reset to the value of the worst case status recorded against any of the member details. This process captures the case where the status of an existing detail changes, as well as cases where a new detail is added to a group or an existing detail is removed from a group. The recorded group status can improve or deteriorate as a result.
