How to check containment clash types? Estimated reading: 3 minutes 414 views The containment clash type is used to find all the elements that belong to a room, space or any other container element. In addition to detecting elements, they can be enriched by adding appropriate relations and properties. As with other types of clashes, BEXEL Manager aims to automate the process of clash detection analysis by using predefined configuration documents that can be adjusted and reused on any other project.Click Templates in the Selection Sets tab → Select Import From Knowledge Base from the dropdown list → Choose the Configuration document to import → All smart selection sets are imported. Click Templates in the Clash detection tab → Select Import From Knowledge Base from the dropdown list → Choose the Configuration document to import → All clash jobs are imported and listed within the clash job list → Click Update all and run all imported clash jobs at once → Clash jobs are updated and listed. You can fine-tune the configuration documents for selection sets and clash detection jobs or create a custom one depending on your project needs.
