COORDINATION & QA

Clash Detection.

Detect clashes inside Revit, turn them into issues with screenshots, key plans and owners, then push to the CDE. No leaving Revit, no Navisworks round-trip, no Excel logs.

01 · THE PROBLEM

The model lives in Revit, the clash tests in Navisworks, the action list in Excel, the screenshots in a chat thread. Every hand-off loses data and burns an afternoon.

2–3 h

Exporting and syncing to Navisworks

Every coordination round means re-exporting NWC per discipline, rebuilding the clash tests, then reconciling by hand against the source model.

60 %

Duplicate and noise clashes

The same pipe-beam pair gets reported over and over at different sections. Without tolerance and filter rules, engineers strike out rows by hand.

45 s

Per screenshot plus key plan

Screenshot, circle the area, crop a key plan, paste into the report — multiplied by hundreds of clashes it eats a whole day.

0

Trace of who fixed what, and when

The list lives in Excel, the images in a chat thread, the decisions in someone's head. A week later nobody can reconstruct it.

02 · FEATURES

What it does

The whole job in one window, without opening another application.

A

Detect

  • Three modes: hard clash, soft clash, clearance check
  • Absolute tolerance or a percentage of the intersecting volume
  • Scope: whole model, active view, selection, or per linked model
  • Parameter filters: skip by system, phase, workset, parameter value
  • Automatic duplicate removal
  • Per-pair severity overrides
B

Work in the model

  • Double-click: build a section box around the clash
  • Open a dedicated 3D view, isolate or select the elements
  • Colour and hide by severity using generated view filters
  • Capture the clash then circle and annotate it in the add-in
  • Generate key plans per clash
  • Generate per-level revision plans
C

Report

  • BCF 2.1 export with viewpoints, images and comments
  • BCF import from Navisworks, Solibri, Revizto — validated against the XSD
  • Single-file HTML report that opens without Revit
  • Export the grid with the project's custom columns
  • Per-run history for week-on-week comparison
D

Collaborate

  • Promote a clash into an issue with id, owner and due date
  • Two-way sync with the CDE at license.zfenix.app
  • Comments, attachments, BCF labels and stage per issue
  • Team custom columns merge when several people edit at once
  • A Clash Cloud pane to follow shared issues without the main window
