Run a Heatmap

Use the Heatmap to quickly find high-priority clashes in your model. It provides a central location to review and track these critical areas so you can focus your coordination efforts where they matter most.

Procore recommends running the Heatmap:

  • At the start of coordination, when clash volume is highest.

  • Periodically throughout the project, to reassess critical areas as models update.

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.

Things to Consider

  • Required User Permissions:

    • 'Standard' or 'Admin' level permissions on the project's Coordination Issues tool.

Steps

  1. Click Heatmap in Procore Clash Manager.

  2. Select the clash tests to analyze, or Select All.

  3. Select the Floor Plan Up Direction.

  4. Enter the number of HotSpots to Show.

  5. Select the clash statuses to analyze. The Heatmap analyzes new, active, or renewed clashes by default.

  6. Select an area to limit the Heatmap, if needed. You must have defined areas in your model.

  7. Click Show HeatMap. The model displays the 10 highest clashing areas.

  8. Click Publish.

  9. Select the options to update your clash groups.

    • Prepend Clash Group Name With Hotspot Number: Adds the hotspot number to the front of the name of the clash group. This allows everyone to work on the same hotspot to resolve the issue.

    • Save Heatmap Viewpoint: Creates a viewpoint that everyone can see highlighting each hotspot.

    • Create Hot Spot Clash Tests: Creates one clash test for each hotspot, so that you can review all the clashes at the same time.

  10. Click Publish Heat Map.
