Changelog
Plug-in releases and web updates, newest first. Read what changed and anything you need to do before updating.
No release notes match this view.
Review a coordination session as one clear timeline. The Navisworks Activity view now shows attributed events in chronological order. Filter by activity type or source, and load earlier events when you need more history.
See when a clash differs from its matched matrix rule. Clash cards, Wise, and analysis summaries now identify adjusted or stale rule values. You can restore a clash to its current matched-rule values when appropriate.
Keep matrices current after a clash-set update. Add new classes, synchronize the exact class list, or regenerate a matrix through a guided workflow instead of rebuilding rules from scratch.
See when a clash no longer matches its matrix rule. Clash details, the viewer, exports and reports now flag intentional overrides and stale matches. Restore the current matched-rule values for an individual clash when appropriate.
Give external contacts a focused responsibility view. Shared links now open a filterable, image-led read-only workspace with on-demand clash details, rechecked against the recipient’s current assignment.
Analyse clash sets in Power BI Desktop. Download the English Power BI connector and report template from the public integration page, with setup guidance built in.
en-GB, fr-FR and es-ES copy, with release checks that prevent an incomplete language set from being published.Use the ClashWise plugin in 11 languages. The ribbons, publishing and sync flows, property mapping, search sets, dialogs, Wise workspace, speech controls, matrices, exports and reports now follow the Navisworks UI language in English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Russian, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese or Brazilian Portuguese. Project-authored names and configured values stay exactly as your team entered them.
Keep Wise in the same language in English, French or Spanish. The plugin now sends the selected locale with Wise requests, so generated narratives and clash explanations can return in the same language as the interface. The other eight localized plugin interfaces continue to receive generated Wise narrative in English for now.
Find useful clash tests by result count. The clash-test picker can show all tests or filter to tests with at most, at least or exactly a chosen number of results. It defaults at at least 1, shows the visible count in the search hint and automatically deselects tests hidden by a new filter.
Publish large model context with more structure. ClashWise now publishes spatial metadata alongside the model context it sends to the web app: versioned bounds, content checks, byte and triangle information, and deterministic spatial tiles. That gives the web viewer a structured way to work with large project scenes in bounded pieces, while keeping the selected clash aligned with the model context you are reviewing.
Republishing keeps the scene current. The plugin recognises older published context and refreshes it to the current format when you publish again, so the web viewer can use the latest scene structure without a manual migration.
Nothing is renamed until you say so. Title Update now stages every proposal for review. When a run starts, the new Review Clash Titles window opens with every clash in scope already listed, and each row fills in as its title is generated — with a live count and a time estimate. Edit a proposed title in place, right-click to regenerate or reject one, filter down to just the failures, then click Apply N titles to write the ones you kept. Your model is untouched until that click, and the whole run is a single Ctrl+Z. Stop ends a run and keeps what it already made, Email me when generation finishes lets you leave a long run in the background, and if Navisworks closes mid-run the next run offers to recover the titles it had already generated. Prefer the old behaviour? Untick Review titles before applying in Settings and runs apply themselves as they finish.
Two ways back to your original titles. Straight after applying, the apply button becomes Restore this run. Later — in another session, after several runs — select your clash tests and click Restore original titles… in the footer: ClashWise keeps a local record of every title it has changed, so each clash goes back to the name it had before ClashWise first touched it. A restore is a single undo step too.
See the clash you are reading about. Tick Show clash in model when selected in the review window and each row you click is isolated in the model view, the same way Clash Detective highlights it.
Name clashes your way. Manage formats… beside the Naming Format dropdown opens an editor where you build your own standard from tokens — names, types, levels, IDs, disciplines — with a live preview drawn from a real clash in your open model. Templates built from tokens are applied exactly as typed: character for character, instantly, offline, and never translated, so a mandated convention comes out right every time. Mixed is configurable too — choose which standards it alternates between, your own included.
Runs finish sooner. Generation now streams: a clash starts the moment a slot frees instead of waiting for the slowest member of its batch, and titles begin generating after the first clash is read rather than after all of them.
Cloud backup for local naming, if you want it. A new Settings option retries a clash through the ClashWise cloud when local generation fails. It is off by default, needs a full ClashWise subscription, and is the one case where a clash's element data leaves your machine during naming.
Context models publish whole. Publishing the models around your clash sets has been substantially reworked: dense models no longer come through with pieces missing, uploads are smaller and faster, and curved and extracted surfaces shade correctly in the web viewer. If a context model you published before had gaps, re-publish the set to fill them in.
Offline starts fast. Opening the clash title window without a connection could stall for 30 seconds or more while the plugin looked for one. It now checks briefly — showing "Checking your subscription…" while it does — and falls back to your saved subscription within seconds.
Cleaner AI titles. With "AI Preferred" naming, the local AI no longer echoes instruction text into your clash titles, and titles are cleaned of stray labels and repeated words.
Property Mapping opens in front. The Property Mapping window no longer opens hidden behind the clash test window.
A cleaner ribbon in Navisworks. The ClashWise toolbar gets a fresh, consistent set of icons across every button. The Enhance button is now called Title Update — the same AI clash-title tool under a clearer name — and the Clashes panel is now General. There's also a new Dashboard button that opens your ClashWise web workspace in the browser with a single click, from any plan. These are visual and naming changes only; every tool works exactly as before.
Property Mapping is now its own tool — and maps every level of a federated model. Property Mapping has moved into its own window, opened from a new Property Mapping button on the Clashes ribbon (it's still available from the Enhance flow too). More importantly, models that share one authoring file now map correctly: where each level of a discipline is a separate file all authored by one Revit model, ClashWise used to fold the whole discipline into a single entry and apply one mapping to every level — now each level appears in a source-and-levels tree and can carry its own mapping that inherits from the source. New here too: a Sample Elements button that previews what a mapping will read by selecting real elements in the viewer, a warning glyph on any model whose mapping isn't complete, and clearer field labels with an info tip on each one. Available on plans that include AI clash naming.
Closed clashes show as closed in Navisworks. When a clash is closed in ClashWise, its title is now struck through on the clash card in the Wise chat, and you can close or reopen a clash straight from the card's quick-edit (⋯) menu — across a multi-selection at once.
Also in this release:
(clear)
entry. Import reports what it changed row by row, naming anything it could not understand
rather than failing the whole file, and re-runs analysis afterwards so recommendations catch
up. Download and import now live together in one Excel dialog on the matrix page.www.clashwise.ai now redirects to the main site, which also fixes visitors on that address
seeing an out-of-date list of help topics.Group only the clashes you mean to group. Clash grouping now takes a filter: pick the statuses you want in scope and a minimum distance, and everything else is left alone. You can also group by status, and by distance in bands. Ungrouping follows the same filter, so a clash you have already approved is never pulled loose from its group and stranded at the top of the test — the thing that made grouping risky on a test you had part-way signed off. Distances are entered in your document's units, the preview tells you how many clashes the filter excluded, and grouping presets you saved before this release behave exactly as they did. Available on plans that include AI clash naming.
Grouping no longer looks frozen. Preview and apply now show the native Navisworks progress bar with a Cancel button that actually works — including during the slow part, where nearly all the time goes and where the old wait cursor left you with nothing to do but wait. Repeat previews and applies on the same test are much faster now that ClashWise reuses what it already read instead of re-scanning every property of every clash each time.
Tags on clash cards. Tags you set in the ClashWise web app now appear on the clash cards in the Wise chat, in the same colours you see on the web, and update as you edit them. Available wherever the Wise chat is included in your plan.
Also in this release:
Talk to Wise — voice dictation, processed entirely on your machine. Press Ctrl+Alt+M
in the Wise chat and speak: you see the transcript live as you talk, and nothing you say
ever leaves your computer — transcription runs locally, no cloud, no audio uploads. Dictation
stops itself when you go quiet, and you can opt in to auto-send so a finished sentence fires
off without touching the keyboard. Eight pinnable languages plus auto-detect. First use
downloads a one-time ~148 MB speech model. Available wherever the Wise chat is included in
your plan.
Native clash isolation. Viewing a clash now isolates it the way Clash Detective does — with a toggle to dim or hide everything else — so what you see in ClashWise matches what Navisworks users expect.
Rename clashes right on the card. Click a clash title to edit it in place — type the better name, done. Or click the lightning bolt next to the title and Wise renames that one clash for you. Your renames sync to the ClashWise web app, and if the same clash was retitled in both places, your edit wins. (Renames don't change the test inside Navisworks' own Clash Detective yet — that sync is coming.) Available on plans that include AI clash naming.
