Quick clash checking

Ensuring that each proposed new element of a brownfield re-design is quickly found to be clash free against the entire laser scan dataset is of critical importance. Conversely, when a clash is located against a proposed design object, designers need to know exactly where the clashes would be located against the laser scan data. Swift action then needs to be taken to resolve this.

Use this functionality by first selecting the items to be checked. There is an element selection tool on the Visual Palette for convenience.

Select the item(s) in the drawing using the normal MicroStation tools.

Run the clash check

When the clash check procedure is initiated, Point Cloud Manager will first check to see if any elements of the drawing are selected.

If Point Cloud Manager detects any selected items, you will be prompted to accept the clash check relates to the selection only - or all the drawing.

• Quick Clash check performs a tentative check which is stored in a separate database and is not saved for future examination.

• Existing clashes will not be displayed with the Quick Clash results.
