Navisworks clash detection automation
The same clash matrix every week, grouped and assigned, without the copy and paste. We build tools for Navisworks® Manage that run your standard tests, cut the noise with rules you approve and hand each trade a clean list.
Weekly coordination, done by hand.
- Appending models and re-running dozens of clash tests every week
- Thousands of results where one real issue shows up many times
- Known false positives reviewed again on every run
- Clash lists rebuilt by hand for each trade and area
- No simple trend of open and closed clashes over time
- Test setups that differ from project to project
Clash tools for VDC and coordination teams.
Batch clash runner
Your test matrix set up once, then appended and run on the latest models in one step, on a schedule if you like.
Grouping
Results grouped by grid, level, room, data hall, system or trade, so one issue is one item.
Rule-based filters
Common false positives filtered by rules you approve, and listed separately so nothing disappears.
BCF and Excel exports
BCF files and Excel lists per trade, with viewpoints, ready for your issue tracker.
Trend data
Open, new and closed clashes per week, for Power BI dashboards.
Revit side tools
Clash IDs and locations brought back into Revit so modelers can find each one fast. See Revit automation.
Fixed price first, then a pilot you can test.
| Option | Price (USD) | Estimated time |
|---|---|---|
| Pilot: one clash workflow automated | $750–$1,500 | 1–2 weeks |
| Full clash toolset | $4,000–$15,000 | set in your scope |
Prices exclude any applicable taxes. You'll need Navisworks Manage on the machine that runs the clash tests. Clash results support coordination; they don't replace review by your coordinator or engineer of record.
Clash automation FAQ
Which Navisworks version do we need?
Navisworks Manage on the machine that runs the clash tests, because Clash Detective is part of Manage.
Will the tool hide real clashes?
Filters only apply rules you approve in writing, and filtered results are listed separately, so your coordinator can review them.
