View Full Version : intersection of the overlapping objects

Is there a way to generate the intersection of the overlapping objects?

For example, if I have bunch of vertical risers penetrating through the concrete walls, I can quickly generate the intersection of the two and ONLY see the intersection.

The way I approach this right now is to generate the elevation view of the concrete walls that get penetrated. But it's kind of time consuming to do it one by one.

I'm wondering if there's a "global" way to do this ALL at once. The good thing about this is I can get the total count right a way.

Thanks in advance.

You can run an Interference Check in Revit, but the results are very detailed, as I recall.

This sort of thing is better handled in Navisworks, which has purpose-built Clash Detection tools.

Yes, that's what I'm doing right now in Navisworks.
But you can convert that info back to DWG.

The reason to do it in DWG so that I can quickly generate the penetration drawings with the dimension from the center line of the penetration to the grid line.
