BIM Clash Detection Skill

Purpose

The BIM Clash Detection Skill identifies and manages coordination conflicts between building disciplines including hard clashes, soft clashes, and workflow clashes.

Capabilities

• Hard clash detection (physical interference)
• Soft clash detection (clearance violations)
• Workflow clash detection (sequencing)
• Clash grouping and prioritization
• Resolution tracking
• Report generation with visualization
• BCF format export
• Multi-model coordination

Usage Guidelines

When to Use

• Coordinating multi-discipline models
• Identifying design conflicts
• Managing clash resolution
• Documenting coordination issues

Prerequisites

• BIM models available
• Coordination matrix defined
• Tolerance settings established
• Resolution workflow defined

Best Practices

• Run regular detection cycles
• Prioritize clashes by impact
• Track resolution status
• Document resolutions

Process Integration

This skill integrates with:

• BIM Coordination
• Shop Drawing Review
