Testing

Check for area violations

Enabled: Activates the area for defining the minimum distances for pipes, air ducts and cable trays. If elements of the selected categories or systems fall below the specified distances, a corresponding message is displayed in the Issues and tasks tab. Furthermore, activates the option Report collisions between operating or installation spaces.

Report collisions between operating or installation spaces

Enabled: Checks all existing operating and installation spaces in the selected categories/systems and in case of collisions creates a corresponding message in the Issues and Tasks tab.

Do not check directly connected components

Enabled: Collisions of directly connected components are ignored during the collision check. The revit-sided collision check may report collisions between directly connected components such as tapping points and their connected waste water pipes. By activating this option, such revit-side reported collisions will be ignored during the collision check.
