There are two identical panes in this tab called Left and Right. These panes contain a Tree View of two sets of items that will be tested against each other during the clash test, and you need to select items in each. You can select the items by choosing a tab from the selection tree and manually selecting items from the tree hierarchies. Any selection sets in the scene are also included on a tab, which is a quick and useful method of setting up items across sessions (see "Interactive Geometry Selection" on page 179). You can also transfer the current selection to one of the boxes by selecting items in the usual way in the Scene Area or Selection Tree and clicking the appropriate Select Current button. 4 Optional: Select the appropriate Self Intersect check box to test the corresponding set for self-intersection, as well as intersection against the other set. 5 Optional: You can include the clashing of points, or lines, or surfaces in your test. Underneath each window there are three buttons that correspond to surfaces, lines and points. To toggle a button, click it. So, for example, if you want to run a clash test between some surface geometry and a point cloud, you can set up the geometry in the Left pane, and click the Point Cloud button under the Right pane. The Surface button under the Left pane is toggled on by default. Additionally, you could set the clash Type to Clearance with a Tolerance of 1 meter. 386 | Chapter 16 Locate and Manage Interferences
