Current problem:
Clashing building services is one of the items that takes most of our time. Unfortinuatly with service runs we have several indivdual items making up a service run. Ie with a pipe run you have pipes, fittings, bends and other items generating a run. However when you clash then, you get several indivdual clashes you have to group. This time we could spend doing other things.
Solution;
If we can have rules which understand a service (system) run and elements which are on that run and are less than "x" distance appert are to be treated as one item. Thus generating one clash where previously there was several different clashes.
It would also be benifitial to have rule which understand the difference between vertical and horizontal. Ie. We may be happy to post core a floor slab when a <= 100mm dia pipe is to penetrate it vertically. However we wand to be notified if a horizontal pipe is clashing with the floor.
