The Interference checking tool in Revit
allows you to find where selected elements or all elements in a model interfere
or Clash with one another. You can
run an interference check any time from the Coordinate
Panel on the Collaboration tab.
Here you can select categories within the
current project or items from linked files.
Unfortunately you cannot
compare categories between linked files. But you can select multiple categories.
For example… you can select
structural columns in the project and run check against multiple categories
such as Mechanical Ducts, Plumbing fixtures and Casework.
A report will be generated
listing any “ Interference's”.
You can use the show button
to “show” you where the interference is by selecting the item in the report.
You can export this as a html file to share
with your consultants and you can also refer back and see the last report
anytime.
This is an easy to use tool
on simpler projects, if your working on a more complicated project your
probably going to want to look into something like Navisworks Manage which has
more in depth capabilities for doing Clash Detection.
A great tool...
