Clash detection overview

This allows SPR design files to be compared to the measured point clouds in Point Cloud Manager. This works by passing bounding boxes relating to each of the modelled elements across the link into the Point Cloud Manager environment. These are then analyzed for collisions within the point cloud Dataset. The design is copied into Point Cloud Manager, and clashes are visually highlighted for the operator to review. Clashes can be assessed in turn and actioned, and then removed from the Clash Display Table.

If a collision occurs with a redundant object in the measured point cloud, Point Cloud Manager can remove areas of the point cloud that have changed after the survey was completed. Clash Detection should then be rerun and applied to existing conditions.
