Describe the importance of running a clash test for the MEP system in Autodesk Navisworks Manage, pushing clash information to Revit, updating the live model, and verifying clash resolution.

When implementing BIM for MEP systems, the spatial coordination stage helps to ensure seamless integration across disciplines.
00:12
In this stage, after the initial layout of the MEP networks is generated,
00:18
clash detection is conducted on the Revit coordination model to identify conflicts between the MEP system and the architectural model.
00:28
Clash detection is performed using Autodesk Navisworks Manage or Model Coordination in Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC).
00:38
Each solution plays a key role in efficient streamlining of project development.
00:43
The key difference between Navisworks Clash Detection and Model Coordination lies in their workflows,
00:50
level of automation, accessibility, and collaboration features.
00:55
Model Coordination provides automated workflows with limited preparatory work, as well as visual results in the clash matrix.
01:03
However, Navisworks allows for more file types and clearance detection, an important factor in constructability and safety considerations.
01:13
Navisworks Manage is best used when more advanced, detailed clash detection is needed during more complex coordination workflows.
01:22
Typically, it is used by BIM Managers or Coordinators who need a deep level of control over clash detection and reporting.
01:30
Clash detection in Navisworks Manage is a manual, highly customizable process
01:37
that allows users to define clash rules, filter clash results, and create clash reports.
01:43
Users can run hard, soft, and clearance clashes with specific tolerances.
01:49
It also supports clash grouping, rule-based filtering, and prioritization,
01:54
and it integrates with TimeLiner, Quantification, and other Navisworks tools.
01:59
It also supports a wide range of file formats, including IFC, RVT, DWG, NWC, NWD and many other authored formats.
02:12
The results yield detailed insights, listing clashes by location, element ID, and interference distance.
02:20
In contrast, Model Coordination provides cloud-based, automatic clash detection on models as soon as they are uploaded to ACC.
02:29
There is no need to set up clash detection tests manually, and the intuitive interface makes collaboration easy.
02:37
Model Coordination enables real-time issue tracking, clash grouping,
02:42
and makes assignment of issues seamless because it works within BIM 360 Coordinate or Autodesk Build,
02:49
and it integrates with Autodesk Docs for file management and issue tracking.
02:54
All of this makes Model Coordination best used for broader teams early in the design phase.
03:01
In addition, Model Coordination provides rule-based filtering and object exclusions
03:06
without the requirement of maintaining selection sets as in Navisworks.
03:11
Filters can be saved to views, whilst object exclusions are applicable to the coordination space.
03:17
Also, the clash grid highlights areas requiring attention based on model division, rules, and issue definition.
03:27
Users can define multiple views and fine-tune the clash matrix without the need to redefine selection sets or refresh clash tests.
03:37
Once any detailed clash information is back in Revit from either tool,
03:42
teams can immediately make changes to resolve conflicts directly within the live model.
03:48
And after updates are made, clash detection is re-run to verify that all conflicts have been successfully resolved.
03:56
This iterative process ensures a coordinated and clash-free design while maintaining project integrity.
04:03
By leveraging Navisworks Manage, Model Coordination, and Revit,
04:08
teams streamline coordination, minimize rework, and enhance project efficiency, paving the way for smooth execution in the next project phase.
