BIM Clash Detection Software

How to run a clash detection of BIM models created by different designers and software vendors

usBIM.clash is the clash detection BIM software on federated BIM models certified by buildingSMART international^®.

It doesn't matter which design software you or your design and construction team use.

With usBIM.clash:

• open and view BIM models or objects in the IFC standard format and also in many other 3D formats (.SKP, .DWG, .3DS, etc.)
• perform BIM clash detection tasks on projects created with Edificius^®, Revit^®, ArchiCAD^®, Allplan^®, Tekla^®, VectorWorks^®, AutoCAD^®, SketchUp^®, 3D Studio Max^® and many others.

Thanks to the BIM clash detection functions, you can start from a single federated model that integrates the different design aspects (architectural, structural, plant engineering, MEP clash detection, etc.).

IFC entity selection groups and filters help you to set up powerful clash detection rulesets available whenever you want

usBIM.clash allows you to choose BIM models and the elements to be analysed with maximum flexibility.

You can select objects directly on the model (visually and graphically) or use advanced features such as "Selection Groups" and "Selection Filters" which allow you to specify the files and entities on which to perform conflict analysis.

Advanced features such as "Selection Groups" and "Selection Filters" allow you to specify the entities upon which to perform a geometry conflict analysis.

The chosen analysis criteria can be stored as a template and therefore used as a meta-process analysis that can be repeated each time on the updated models.

The Clash detection results are dynamically updated not only at every model change, or models that have already been analyzed, but also in case new BIM models are added.

Deal with Clash detection with BCF, PDF, XLS and resolve conflicts dynamically and collaboratively

With usBIM.clash, conflicts in the design process are managed collaboratively between the different designers involved.

Enrich individual issues with notes, comments and screenshots of conflicting objects and optimize the BIM clash detection procedure.

You can export the BIM clash detection report:

• in the standard BCF (BIM Collaboration Format) of buildingSMART international^®, in line with the IFC-Open BIM philosophy
• in many other standard operating formats: PDF,  XML, HTML, CSV, XLSX.

Using the BCF standard, the individual BIM designer can view each issue, the elements affected by the interferences and any other useful information necessary to solve the problem in their BIM application.
