Clash management for Navisworks

Know which clashes need your attention.

Bring your Navisworks clashes into ClashWise to organise the review, understand the issues and keep track of what needs doing.

Build a matrix from your model properties, review the proposed Navisworks tests, then publish the results for coordination.

01 / Find your place

Find clashes by level and room.

Decide what needs reviewing first, using priorities and due dates. Move through the levels, then select a room to focus on the clashes there.

02 / Focus the review

Let guided review take you through the clashes.

Work through clashes at your own pace. Inspect the two elements, check their properties and bring back the surrounding model when you need context.

03 / Wise explanation

Understand why the clash matters.

Pause on a clash and Wise explains what is intersecting, why it matters and a practical next step, without holding up the viewer.

The explanation appears automatically. Use the quick rating to tell us when it helped.

04 / Coordination sessions

Keep everyone on the same model view, then draw together.

The host can present the complete live view, including context, clipping and display choices, while each person sees only authorised content. Freeze the view for shared markup, or split into parallel lanes.

Earlier in the review: the team assessed the original intersection and agreed a revised route. The current Rev04 geometry is resolved.

Your clash matrix gives Wise the project’s coordination context. AI analyses the clash against it and recommends the priority, status and contact.

Why this recommendation? The duct intersects a primary beam. The example matrix calls for a service-route review, with Jamie as the mechanical contact.

Save the camera and model visibility, keep measurements and resume your review. Saved views open against the current model and warn you when geometry has changed.

Choose the viewpoints, annotations and measurements to include in a BCF review package. Your team can carry that context into the receiving tool, where support for each item may vary.

Wise actions are pooled across your organisation’s editor seats. Guest passes are counted per organisation, per calendar month. Guests need no paid editor seat and count within the plan’s people-per-session limit. Up to 10 guest-assigned lanes may be active in a session; this lane rule is separate from the people limit. These monthly allowances stay the same with yearly billing. The trial includes 10 Wise actions per user per day.

A few practical questions

Ready for your
next clash review.

What to expect when you bring ClashWise into your Navisworks workflow.

Visit the help centre ↗
How does ClashWise fit into Navisworks?+

Run your clash tests in Navisworks and publish the results through the ClashWise plug-in. Name and analyse the clashes, coordinate with your team, then review and sync selected status, priority, contact and comment changes back to Navisworks.

Which Navisworks versions can I use?+

The plug-in supports Navisworks 2024 to 2027. Clash tests run in Navisworks Manage’s Clash Detective. Priority sync requires Navisworks 2026 or later. See download and compatibility details.

Can AI title generation run offline?+

Yes. After a one-time AI model download, local title generation runs on your machine. Published clash management, Wise, collaboration and sync use the cloud and need a connection. Read about local AI.

Do I need to set up Property Mapping?+

Yes, once for each source-file pattern. Map element names, IDs, categories, levels and disciplines, then save the mapping for reuse. This supports both title generation and clash management. See Property Mapping.

Can I edit the AI’s recommendations?+

Yes. You can edit generated titles, owners and priorities. Your edits are retained during re-analysis, with a history of who changed what and when. Wise can also apply actions you request; those changes remain visible in the workspace.

What happens when I run the next clash test?+

Re-run Clash Detective in Navisworks to check the revised model. Existing clashes keep their identities; newly detected clashes appear as new entries. Use Update Clash Set or Run & Publish to send the latest results to the existing destination, then review the coordination changes before syncing.

Can people outside our team participate?+

Share a read-only 3D scene with selected clashes, an expiry and an optional password. For a live session, invite guests without an account. Their pass defines their session or lane access and available actions. Guest allowances depend on your plan.

Can I try it before choosing a plan?+

Start a 14-day trial without a credit card; Starter is included. You can also book a walkthrough. Starter covers local plug-in tools; Pro and Business add cloud coordination, billed per editor seat. Compare plans and pricing.

Where can I review security and privacy?+

Local title generation stays on your machine. Published clash sets and uploaded context models use ClashWise’s cloud workspace. Read the security information, privacy policy and data processing agreement for the details.

Built for the people bringing it all together

Try ClashWise on your own project.

Publish a clash set, review it with your team and sync the agreed changes back to Navisworks.
