During a coordination meeting, project leads ask for a report showing only active clashes between mechanical systems and structural framing in patient-room zones, following the approved clash matrix.
What is the most effective way to provide this report using Model Coordination?
A custom coordination view should be created using the applicable published mechanical and structural models and limited to the patient-room zones required by the approved clash matrix. The clash results can then be filtered by model pair, location, object category, and active status before the filtered list is exported. This produces a targeted report containing only the coordination conditions requested by the project leads.
The custom-view approach maintains the relationship between the clash records and the coordinated model geometry. It also makes the review repeatable: the BIM manager can return to the saved view during subsequent coordination cycles and evaluate whether the same discipline and location criteria have been resolved.
Asking individual disciplines to prepare independent reports creates inconsistent evaluation criteria and weakens the centralized coordination record. Exporting every clash and manually filtering the spreadsheet introduces unnecessary effort and increases the risk of omitting or misclassifying issues. Assigning clashes through the Issues tool is appropriate after clashes have been reviewed and determined to require action, but assignment does not itself generate the requested filtered clash report.
