The clash grid is the main working surface for a published clash set. Select a set on the Clash sets page (https://clashwise.ai/my/clash-sets) and its clashes load in the main pane as a rich table: viewpoint thumbnails, statuses, priorities, tags, due dates, and — once AI analysis has run — the recommendations ClashWise generated from your clash matrix.
Why use it
The grid turns a flat list of Navisworks clash results into a triaged worklist. You can see at a glance which clashes are analyzed, edit the coordination fields inline, tag and bulk-update clashes, and jump into the details dialog or the 3D viewer.
Who can use it
Any signed-in user with access to the set can view the grid. Editing the recommendation fields requires a clash matrix assigned to the set (the Recommendations columns only appear once one is). Tags can be edited without a matrix. Read-only organizations can view and export but not edit.
Clash numbers — the permanent identity
The first column, #, shows each clash's permanent number chip. Clash #N is the clash's identity within its set: it never changes, it is never editable, and it appears everywhere — the grid, the details dialog ("#N — Title"), 3D viewer lists, shares, and deep links. When you refer to a clash in a meeting, a message, or a link, lead with its number.
The two column groups and their source badges
The grid is split into two labeled column groups, each carrying a source badge so it is always clear where data comes from:
- Clash Information — badge tooltip "Source: Navisworks". This is the data your plug-in published from Clash Detective.
- Recommendations — badge tooltip "Source: ClashWise AI". These columns only appear when a clash matrix is assigned to the set, and they hold what the AI recommended when it applied your matrix rules.
Clash Information columns
- # — the permanent clash number (locked, never editable).
- View — the viewpoint thumbnail. Click it to open a lightbox with Image and 3D Model tabs.
- Title — read-only. Title editing is a plug-in feature inside Navisworks, not a web feature. The title is prefixed by an analysis-state icon: a spinner ("Analysis in progress…"), a green check ("Analyzed on {date} - Rule: {rule}"), a warning ("No matching rule found"), or red for an un-analyzed clash. A lock toggle may also appear: "Manually edited — excluded from future analysis. Click to unlock and re-include." Clicking the title opens the clash details dialog.
- Description and Type — hidden by default; add them via the column chooser.
- Test — the Navisworks clash test the clash came from.
- Status — the Navisworks status, shown with a colored dot.
- Priority — the priority as published from Navisworks.
- Tags — inline-editable chips. Click a chip to quick-filter the grid by that tag, click × to remove it, or click + to add one with autocomplete suggestions from the set's tag library.
- Group — the clash group, if the set was grouped.
- Location — level and grid cell.
- Date Found — when the clash was found.
- Due Date — an editable chip with a date picker, color-coded by urgency.
Recommendations columns (matrix assigned)
- Matched Rule — links to the matched rule in the matrix (opens in a new tab). A ✨ icon means one or both element classifications were AI-inferred; a ⟳ warning means the matrix was edited after the analysis and a re-run is advised. Use Assign Rule (or the change-rule icon) to pick a different rule manually.
- Priority (recommended) — a colored chip; click to change it, or click Add Priority if empty.
- Status (recommended) — same pattern as recommended priority.
- Responsible Contact — a chip with a display toggle between name, email, and company, plus a copy button. Click it to open the contact dialog, or click Add Contact if empty.
- Edit — a command column with Edit / Save / Cancel for inline row editing.
What you can and cannot edit
Editable on the web: recommended status, recommended priority, responsible contact, due date, and tags.
Not editable on the web: the clash title, the clash number, and every Navisworks-sourced field (test, original status/priority, group, location, dates found, and so on). Titles are edited in the Navisworks plug-in only.
Edits you make on the web stay in ClashWise until you choose to sync — the Sync action in the plug-in pulls agreed values back into Navisworks. Nothing you do in the grid modifies your model files directly.
The review bar and bulk actions
Above the grid, a segmented quick filter switches between All, Reviewed, and Not reviewed (reviewed status comes from coordination sessions — see the Coordination Sessions section). When the grid is filtered to a specific session's reviewed clashes, a "Session: {title} ×" chip shows the active session filter.
Selecting rows (or applying a filter) raises the bulk bar:
- A counter — "{N} SELECTED" or "ALL {N} MATCHING SELECTED".
- Select all {N} matching (with a filter active) or select all in this set, plus Clear selection.
- Tag selected… — apply tags to every selected clash at once.
- View {N} in 3D / View all {N} in 3D / View filtered in 3D — open the selection in the 3D viewer (the viewer shows up to 1,000 clashes per scene).
- Apply defaults… — stamp the matrix's default status, priority, and contact onto the selected clashes. This is disabled until a matrix is assigned ("Assign a matrix to this clash set first").
Working with the table
- Columns are sortable, resizable, and reorderable, and a column chooser lets you show or hide columns (Description and Type are hidden by default).
- Paging offers 10, 20, 30, 50, or 100 rows per page.
- A reset-column-layout button in the set header restores the default arrangement.
- If a search or filter matches nothing, the grid shows "$ no clashes found" — "Adjust your search or run analysis to populate this view."
Tips
- Click a tag chip to instantly filter the grid to that tag — it's the fastest ad-hoc filter there is.
- Use the display toggle on Responsible Contact to switch the whole column between names, emails, and companies depending on what you're scanning for.
- Due-date chips are color-coded by urgency, so sorting or scanning that column surfaces at-risk clashes quickly.
- The ⟳ warning on Matched Rule is your cue that the matrix changed after analysis — re-run analysis to bring recommendations up to date.
Limitations
- Clash titles and all Navisworks-sourced data are read-only on the web.
- The Recommendations columns don't exist until a matrix is assigned to the set.
- The web app never changes your Navisworks files — moving agreed values back into the model is done with the plug-in's Sync feature.
