Displaying Clashes Visually

Keywords

REPORT GRAPHICS COLOUR CLASH OBST RESETHIGHLIGHT

Description

In addition to alphanumeric reporting of clash data (to your terminal or to a file), MODEL can show the locations of clashes graphically by highlighting the clashing elements on the display.

When graphical reporting is switched on, for each clash found, the element in the obstruction list (the ‘clashee’) is displayed in the CLASH colour and the element in the check list (the ‘clasher’) is displayed in the OBST colour.

If a clashing element is already in the drawlist (i.e. already displayed), it will be highlighted by a change to the appropriate colour. If the element is not currently displayed, it will be added to the drawlist automatically (in the default visible colour) and will then be highlighted in the appropriate colour.

The element stays highlighted until another clash check is run, or until the user removes all graphical highlighting specifically by using the RESETHIGHLIGHT command.
