I want to be able to create PDF Markups within AECOsim's Clash detection tools similar to what you can do in Navigator.
Is this possible?

Hi Ian,
The process in Navigator creates saved views that get referenced into sheet models in the overlay file. And it ties it all together in the Markup dialog box where you can assign values to the various properties for tracking, etc.
I suppose you could create a saved view from the Clash Detection results and create a sheet model, reference in the saved view - a very manual process. You wouldn't get the tie in with the markup dialog box for that 'intelligence'.
So, to take advantage of the 'intelligence' behind the markup process the recommended workflow is to utilize imodels, overlay files for the clash detection jobs and markups and review the markups back in AECOsim.
Keep in mind the MS_MARKUPPATH configuration variable is used to point to the various project directories to 'harvest' markups. Any markups found in those directories are shown in the Markups dialog in the originating software, in this case AECOsim BD.
One thing done to take it to another step is to reference the overlay file, with no live nesting, back to the working models to get the markup 'markers' show up in my views at the location of the markup.

bump...
Other problems:
1. Activating a Ref attachment when clash detection mode causes a clash crash.
2. Seed file needs to have SWA with a UOR of 1000/mm or there will be lots of false clashes.
