Clash Detection
Win64, EnglishGeneral Usage Instructions
This version provides 5 commands for Clash Detection in Revit's model.
1. Find clashes
-
- This function prompts the user to select a clash detection workflow and proceeds to analyze all the model elements matching it. Every collision detected will be recorded in two manners. First, we'll place a clash sphere family in the exact location of the clash in the model. This will ensure the clash visibility in Revit's user interface. Second, we'll record the clash data in a .json file located in the current project folder generated when this command is executed. This file will be used to recover the clashes if the clash spheres in the model are deleted manually, to obtain important information about the colliding elements, and to extend the functionality of this by adding in further development stages.
2. Merge clashes
-
- The merge clashes function combines two or more clashes into a single bigger clash sphere, deletes the combined clashes, and merges the data of the clashes into a single combined clash in the data file. This command will also keep the data and sphere families of the clashes that weren't merged.
3. Solve clash
-
- This function changes the family type of a single selected clash sphere, which also results in the change of its color, as well as updates the clash status in the clash data file. This algorithm modifies slightly the clash sphere family and data to notify its resolution.
4. Solve multiple clashes
-
- This function changes the family type of the selected clash spheres, which also results in the change of their color, as well as updates the clash status of the selected spheres in the data file. This algorithm modifies slightly the clash sphere families and data, to notify their resolution.
5. Delete clashes
-
- The Delete Clashes command removes all the clash sphere families placed in the model as well as the clash data in the clash data file. This allows the user to obtain a fresh start in the model and clash data file.

This version of the AvantLeap Clash Detection Tools consists of three main components. The first is a toolbar with 5 Buttons that run the following commands: Find Clashes, Delete Clashes, Merge Clashes, Solve a Single Clash and Solve Multiple Clashes. The second component is a dynamic database that records the clash data in .json files located in a folder generated automatically for each project analyzed by the tool. The third component is a Clash Sphere Revit Family that will be loaded and placed over each clash detected in the model. |
