Is there any tips and example? as I understood from many engineers and modelers that they do not have a good reference and steps how to use this function. I guess in sewergems and because the program has all platforms this function should be included there as well not only in Geopack, MX Road and inRoads, at least just to cross check between seweage and storm system. In Microdrainage you can also bring other utilities; so we hope bentley can cover this soon.

Hi Mohamad,
As you mentioned, other Bentley products provide subsurface utility clash detection tools. Our solution to this was to combine the Haestad and Civil products - check out OpenRoads Designer. This allows you to take advantage of the strengths of the native Bentley Civil clash detection tools along with the strengths of the Haestad hydraulic modeling tools and calculations together. If you have a SewerGEMS license, you can utilize it within OpenRoads Designer to use the same capabilities that you have in SewerGEMS (as opposed to the included 100 inlet StormCAD license included by default).
