However managing the process of tens of thousands of potential clashes can be daunting and time consuming. It doesn't have to be; this is the start of a series of blog posts about getting the most out of clash detection in Navisworks, and this first post is a comprehensive guide to setting up clash rules to reduce false positives.

Components up to 26m long will be delivered to site on a ‘just in time’ basis and lifted into place.
