Review: SwitchBackClash Revit Plugin

Introduction

SwitchBackClash is a powerful plugin for Autodesk Revit that allows users to easily view clashes created in Autodesk Navisworks directly within the Revit environment. This tool streamlines the clash detection process, making it more efficient and convenient for users.

Features

With SwitchBackClash, users can seamlessly view clashes by following a few simple steps. By selecting the SwitchBackClash button, users can trigger the application to browse to the XML clash report exported from Navisworks. From there, users can select the family that will be placed in the Revit model at clash points. Users have the option to load the default family or use their own custom family. Additionally, users can define family parameters to write clash information, providing greater flexibility and control over the clash visualization process.

Benefits

SwitchBackClash offers numerous benefits to Revit users. By integrating clash detection directly into the Revit environment, users can save time and improve workflow efficiency. The ability to view clashes in Revit allows for easier collaboration and communication among project team members. Additionally, the customizable options for selecting families and defining parameters give users greater control and flexibility in clash visualization.

Conclusion

Overall, SwitchBackClash is a valuable tool for Autodesk Revit users seeking to streamline the clash detection process. By providing a seamless integration with Navisworks and customizable options for clash visualization, this plugin enhances the user experience and improves overall project efficiency. I highly recommend giving SwitchBackClash a try for anyone working with Revit and Navisworks integration.
