Automatic Assignment Rules

In order to set up successful assignment rules you need knowledge of how the Design model is structured and how each discipline will model design items. You need this to enable you to determine the best set of rules for your 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 your project progresses and Clash Manager is used in earnest, it is inevitable that you will need to either modify or add to your clash assignment rules. When you do this it may be necessary to recompute all or some of the clashes in the database to take account of the new rules.
