About this app
When it comes to coordination and clash detection in BIM projects, efficiency is key. The BIM Clash Manager plugin for Autodesk Revit aims to streamline the clash review process, boost meeting productivity, and improve status management. Designed for BIM Technicians, Specialists, Coordinators, discipline leads, project owners, and anyone interested in BIM, this plugin offers a range of features to simplify clash resolution within the Revit environment.
Key Features
One of the standout features of BIM Clash Manager is its fast import functionality. The plugin allows users to import Autodesk Navisworks HTML/CSV reports seamlessly, organizing clashes by Layer and Level and parsing ElementIds for easy identification. This saves valuable time and eliminates the need for manual data entry.
Navigation within the Revit model is made simple with one-click functionality. Users can easily jump to Plan or 3D views, with an automatic Section Box and adjustable Padding feature that helps to focus on specific clash areas within the model. The color-coded statuses (Open, Approved, Resolved, Ignored) provide a visual representation of clash status, making it easy to track and manage conflicts.
Multi-select and bulk update capabilities further enhance the efficiency of the clash resolution process. Users can manage similar clashes in one step, capturing decisions instantly and saving time during coordination meetings. The list entry feature ensures that your data is saved in the background, allowing you to pick up where you left off without losing track of resolved conflicts.

Workflow and Use Cases
The typical workflow using BIM Clash Manager involves detecting clashes in Navisworks, exporting the report, and importing it into the plugin before a coordination meeting. During the meeting, users can utilize the Find in Plan/3D feature to focus on specific clashes and record decisions using statuses and notes. Afterward, the exported reports can be shared easily, providing full traceability for future reference.
Project View Templates can be applied to open views, ensuring consistency across different models and projects. The plugin operates locally by default, ensuring data security and privacy with no cloud posting unless specifically exported.
