Tools > Collision Detection > Detect Collision

After you perform collision detection on selected objects or display sets, you can review the results and save the information to a report file. Use any standard HTML or text editor to open the file. You can copy its contents to other applications such as MS Excel and Word to customize the report.

Collision Detection Report

The excerpt below is from a report where collision detection was run on the sample sprdemo project file. Each collision is shown in the corresponding graphics file.

The thumbnail graphic in the report is a snapshot of the collision based on your detection Fit settings.

Columns:

  • Primary Object - Provides information on the object on which collision detection is performed. If an object or display set is made up of several elements, each element number that is affected by a collision displays.

  • Secondary Object - Provides information on the objects that are colliding with the primary object.

Properties (Rows)

  • Label - Shows the attribute name taken from the current project label database (MDB2) file. The available description depends on the source application used to create the model. The Label 1 and Label 2 fields can be edited before generating the report. For more information, see Change Labels in a Collision Detection Report.

  • File - Displays the graphic file name, such as .DGN and .PRP files, associated with the object. These files are also referenced in the Project Files section in the Project Manager.

    For Smart 3D models, the Files are the discipline names.

  • Object - Shows the object ID number. All graphics in the model are objects. The object ID numbers display in the Properties dialog box. For more information, see View Object Properties.

  • Element - Shows the element ID number. Elements are the basic building blocks of a geometric figure such as lines, shapes, and circles.

  • Type - Shows the object type.

  • Minimum and Maximum Range Point - Specifies the range of the collision to include both the primary and secondary objects. When the Fit > Collision option is selected, this range is used to calculate the fit operation. 

Generate the Report

  1. After you have run collision detection, click Next or Previous on the Detect Collision dialog box to cycle through each collision.
    OR
    Click Display All to highlight all collisions in the Main view.

    Each collision is highlighted in the Main view. A reported collision is a temporary representation of the primary object or display set in its collided position.

  2. Click Show Details.

    Smart Review expands the Detect Collisions dialog box.

    Set the required Fit option determines the view when you click Next or Previous to cycle through each collision.

    A snapshot of each collision view is taken at the current view angle and is saved to a thumbnail graphic in the collision detection report.

  3. Select the Collision run number you want to review.

    The collisions for that run are listed in the Report section of the dialog box.

  4. Select any required display and report options.

  5. Click Save.

  6. From the Save Collision Detection Report dialog box, select the name and location for the generated report file, and then click Save.

    Smart Review displays the report generation status in the status bar and in the Text view.

  • The time it takes to generate a report depends on the number of collisions. You can press ESC to end the report generation process at any time.

  • Click Display All to list all collisions with the current view angle. If the collisions are not clearly visible, try adjusting the view cone to get a better view.

  • To zoom in on a collision, click the list view. Then, click the collision that you want to view. You also can use the arrow keys to move through and view the collisions in the List view.

  • Collision detection reports show any moved display sets in their current locations. The current location of a display set may or may not be the same location of the display set at the time collision detection was run.
