Create Areas to Name Clash Groups

Create 3D areas to automatically include dynamic location data in your clash group names. You can verify these areas directly in the 3D view. Distill handles configuration flexibly: it assigns clashes in overlapping areas to the smallest zone, or it can combine names to describe multiple locations. This approach lets you sort groups by name, making it easy to isolate clashes within a specific area.

Important

To use Procore's Clash Manager for Navisworks®, you must download & install the Procore VDC Plugin and the Procore BIM Plugin on the Windows® computer running your Autodesk® design software. After installation, a Procore tab and a Clash Manager button appear in Autodesk® Navisworks®. For instructions, see Procore BIM Plugins.
