Clash detection and interference checking have greatly improved how we deal with issues during the design phase. But without a comprehensive method for managing interferences, we quickly end up with thousands of meaningless clashes. To enhance your coordination process we will present some rules to improve clash detection and management during design phases. We will illustrate this class with a case study from Paris where clash detection helped to find and solve coordination problems on a complex laboratory project. This class will covers various methods for creating an efficient clash-detection matrix, import Revit software models in Navisworks Manage software, set up the associate selection sets, and run clash detection. We will see how to group clash results into meaningful reports, and how to automate this process using Navisworks software plug-in. Finally, we will see how to use these clash reports for measuring progress in the coordination during the design phase.

In the fast-paced world of construction, optimizing collaboration and streamlining workflows are essential for project success. This course will focus on using the power of automation within Autodesk Construction Cloud to elevate efficiency in clash detection, facilitating seamless collaboration between architects and structural engineers. Participants will embark on a journey to master the art of automated clash detection, using the powerful tools and features available in Autodesk Construction Cloud. Through this session, attendees will learn how to harness automation to swiftly identify clashes between architectural and structural elements.

Learn how to create clash detection in BIM 360 Coordination using a published model from Revit software to BIM 360 Docs software using a cloud worksharing workflow. Learn how to set up coordination space, automate clash detection, review clashes with a team, create unified issues, assign issues to team members, create an approval workflow, set up granular permissions, change analysis, and create a BIM 360 dashboard. We’ll also cover grouping clashing, selection of clashing, integration, and so on. BIM 360 Design software is a product for cloud worksharing and design collaboration that is built for distributed, multidisciplinary teams. With BIM 360 Design, you can co-author Revit models in the cloud, control worksharing activities, and coordinate deliverable exchange across teams. Model Coordination provides a shared space to publish, review, and run clashes on your latest set of project models. See how when you upload 3D models to a centralized Model Coordination folder, the clash service automatically locates any issues in those models.

Learn how we used laser scanning and Building Design Suite to coordinate the installation of a new chiller and air handling unit in the basement of one of Florida's premier performance venues. We demonstrate how we used ReCap™, Revit®-based software, Navisworks® software, and Apple® iPads® tablets to create a 4D clash detection model to preplan the movement of a 8.5-ton chiller into the existing mechanical room. Because performances scheduled throughout the construction limited downtime, having an efficient process was critical. The virtual design and construction (VDC) team learned the most efficient ways to transfer point cloud files using the ReCap RCS format, perform clash detection in the point cloud in Navisworks, create models, and distribute the information to the team for use in the field. This lean process helped all team members visualize and plan their work, and it provided the owner with a useful as-built model for future work.

In the era of cloud-based clash detection, there's still no consistent method to flag and track clashes and their resolutions within one common data environment (CDE). This session will help building information modeling (BIM) professionals use the Issues framework to flag clashes in a streamlined manner that helps alleviate the need to check every clash manually. It will then guide the professionals on how to organize engineering and construction teams in their use of the Revit Issues add-in so they can use the interface and communicate effectively. Finally, the session will focus on management teams' abilities to track and coordinate issue resolution pace and responsibility by creating digital control towers to manage the clash data using the Autodesk Construction Cloud Data Connector, with an introduction to data analytics using Power BI capabilities. This methodology can then be translated to an enterprise-wide case study to help upper management monitor and compare project performances.

Clash detection is integral during the design process to ensure coordinated and ready-for-construction models are produced. A properly implemented clash detection practice will result in a reduced number of RFIs during construction, and ultimately decreases the costs associated with uncoordinated design models. An offline clash detection process becomes increasingly challenging in a design-build megaproject where dozens of models are developed at a fast pace. Therefore, there is a need for a cloud-based, collaborative, and centralized clash detection platform where the designed models are actively integrated and monitored collectively for outstanding coordination issues. BIM 360 Design software’s platform lets users conduct such a clash detection practice as it hosts live design models, and it provides a built-in clash detection module (that is to say Model Coordination). Learn how Model Coordination was used to clash and report on the LAX Automated People Mover Project.

It has been a long road getting from there to here! Here we are again, on the precipice of a technology revolution. What will the future look like? What will the Autodesk Construction Cloud have in store? Most importantly, what will the Construction Industry embrace? Join this class to discuss what Model Coordination will mean, project delivery requirements, automation in the software, automation in the physical world, and the future of VDC roles. We will first time travel back to the beginning of Clash Detection and BIM Software, then we will compare that to current capabilities, and finally we will step into the future to explore the impact of what current cutting edge technology could have and review the tech workflows of the future.

The Navisworks integration with Autodesk Construction Cloud Model Coordination fosters collaboration among multiple stakeholders in a shared environment. It enables teams to allocate clashes to respective teams and flag them in authoring software for prompt resolution. Conventional clash detection workflows encounter challenges like nonstreamlined processes and prolonged procedures, as well as an absence of a shared collaborative environment, a need to sift through lengthy clash reports, inadequate documentation, and a lack of methods to assign clashes. Integrating Navisworks with Model Coordination offers a streamlined workflow and a closed-loop clash management system, and it provides comprehensive documentation and enhances coordination, productivity, and efficiency. In this lab, you'll learn to use the Model Coordination API in Navisworks for clash detection, and use the Issues add-in in Revit software for issue management and clash location, ensuring seamless coordination. Overcome your challenges and capitalize on the power of Autodesk tools.

As construction projects grow in complexity, achieving precise coordination is more important than ever to minimize rework and keep teams aligned. This course will focus on using ReCap Pro software’s ability to generate high-resolution mesh files and use classification tools to drive detailed clash detection. Participants will explore how integrating segmented meshes into Navisworks software and Autodesk Construction Cloud enhances the accuracy of project coordination by aligning models with real-world conditions. Through this session, you’ll learn how to use classified mesh data to identify and resolve clashes with greater clarity, facilitating more-informed decision making across project teams.

This class covers the production of a Navisworks project review software Building Information Modeling (BIM) coordination template. In this lab session we will go through the process of setting up default search sets and developing clash rules in Navisworks project review software using an XML editor. We will then go through the process of exporting error reports with basic modification. The session will conclude with a walk-through of the clash detection cycle and workflow for updating the clash tests. At the end of the lab you will have a basic Navisworks software clash detection template to take away with you. This will result in a base standardized set of clash detection rules and a drastic reduction in the time taken to carry out clash detection and reporting.

One of the core features of delivering a BIM (Building Information Modeling) project is design coordination and clash detection. You need to check clashes between different discipline models to ensure reduced site-errors issues. This lab will focus on creating clash templates that can be reused on various BIM projects to save time and money. In this lab, you’ll create search sets for items such as structural members, mechanical ductwork, plumbing, floors, ceilings, and so on. These will be created by searching Revit element categories that are common to most Revit models. You’ll then perform clash tests based on these search sets. These clash tests will then be exported as a clash template and then imported into other files. This will let you save time when setting up these standard clashes in other files and projects.

We've all been there: Delivery deadlines are closing in. Late model changes from other teams suddenly appear. How can we be sure that our models meet the requirements and quality that our clients expect from us when the time to do model coordination checks becomes shorter and shorter? In this session, we'll show how you can implement model coordination so your team is more efficient with automated clash detection using Autodesk Construction Cloud and Model Coordination. The era when only BIM coordinators could run clash detection is over! Be your own BIM coordinator!

Even with a fully coordinated Autodesk Revit model of every discipline, architectural beauty comes at the cost of a challenging construction phase. In this class, you will learn how coordination on the Yale School of Management was managed using Autodesk Navisworks software in conjunction with fabrication-quality modeling. We will explore rule-based clash detection will be explored as a primary evaluation and visualization method for finding coordination problems and developing real-time solutions in the intelligent model. You will leave the class with a clear understanding of how to best integrate and use clash detection to coordinate a building of any level of complexity.

With the advancement in pre-construction technology and enhancements in the Model Coordination product on Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC), we can now take a massive step toward delivering fully coordinated construction models. This will ensure the quality of construction and reduce the wastage of construction materials. The key factor in delivering fully coordinated construction models is a closed-loop clash management system that allows stakeholders to identify and address potential clashes early in the project lifecycle. This results in reduced risks of delays and cost overruns, thus increasing project efficiency and enhancing project quality. In this lab, you will learn about automated clash detection using Model Coordination. You will get hands-on experience with the "closed-loop" end-to-end issue management system, supported by notifications so the users can be notified when you create clash issues. Finally, you will learn how to close the loop by resolving the clashes and changing the issue status to reflect the clash resolution.
