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 color and the element in the check list (the ‘clasher’) is displayed in the OBST color.

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

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