Separate colors for clashing objects

[dgorsman]

When the Clash Detective highlights two clashing objects, it gives them the same highlight color and greys out the non-clashing objects. The single color makes it difficult to pick out the two objects visually sometimes, particularly when they almost, but not entirely, overlap.

It would be nice to set a different color for each object e.g. Item 1 orange, Item 2 red.

I've been doing this pretty much manually by going to the bottom of the Results tab and clicking the Select buttons to see exactly which part it's showing as a clash.

What would also be nice is when you create a report with Viewpoints, if the Viewpoints would show the same settings as the view in the Results tab.

I'd also like to read up on the "Select Filter" setting in the Display mode for the Results tab. It looks kind of interesting..

Yeah, I've been quietly prompting for a run-time Clash Reader (Watson to the Sherlock detective...) module for Simulate (Review, before that) for some time. It doesn't have to do much, just apply the color settings used by the Clash Detective.
