Using the report feature, is it possible to report on clash detection?
Hi Ruston,
Can you please let us know which version of OpenBuildings Designer you are using?

Is there any update on this?

There is an enhancement request for MicroStation, 662316, which requests the ability to create a report out of the clash detection results. Once added to MS it may be adopted by OBD in a future release.
Is this what you're looking for?

Yes, but in an automated version.
Hi Thomas,
Can you elaborate on "automated" in this context? If you just wanted to export existing clash results you could probably record a macro to run thru the process.
The way we use it now is in a teams session with all consultants.
I share my screen and run the clash detection, and someone else is taking screen dumps and paste into a Word document whenever we see something that needs to be adjusted. I'd call that manual. As in the wiki.
An automated process would run the clash detection and create Saved Views in the dgn and create the Word document with screen dumps and links to the Saved Views. Hopefully Saved Views are exported to a dwg.
Saved Views are exported to 3d-pdfs - which can be very useful for non-cad users.
Correct me if I am wrong, but Clash Detection currently does not create Saved Views?
You are correct - at this point Clash Detection and Saved Views are separate so there is no built-in method for linking the two. I suppose you could click on each clash and capture the view window results as a series of saved views. Closer, but still a manual process in the end.
Probably worth filing a Service Request for this so support can check whether there are any existing enhancements along these lines. If not, then one can be created.
