Exercise 5.2.3: Creating Digital Requests for Information

In this exercise, students will learn how to:

  • Explore the results of the clash tests as lists and as scene views.
  • Manage and organize clash test results by the cause of the problem or the discipline responsible for resolving the problem.
  • Differentiate between valid and invalid clashes.
  • Tune the appearance of the viewpoints in order to highlight the essential elements shown.
  • Creating clash reports using various output formats options (Viewpoints, HTML, TEXT, or XML).

  • Review the clash test results and the conflicts reported between the concrete framing and the exposed HVAC system in the ceiling space of Level 1. Then create folders to group and consolidate the clashes related to the Flex Duct Round and to the Oval Duct.
  • Using a similar approach, group and consolidate the clashes reported in the clearance clash test between the ducts and lighting fixtures on Level 1. Group the clashes results into folders based on the root causes of the conflicts.
  • Add tags and comments to each set of clash results that describe the needed resolution.
  • Create a Viewpoint report and an HTML to report these results to the responsible disciplines. Open each report to confirm the accuracy of the simplified set of clashes included in the reports.
