Modify clashes via API

[Anonymous]

Can anyone help me find where to get started on modifying clashes programmatically?

I want to be able to change the status and comments about a clash through the API.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Currently, we need to use COM API to manipulate Clash. There is a sample AUTO_04 in <Navisworks Installation Path>\api\COM\examples\ which demonstrates the automating the process of running pre-defined clash tests in a model and generating a report of the results. I think it self-explains how to use Clash. Regarding with your requirements, the relevant properties are:

InwOclClashTest.Status

InwOclTestResult.Comments

Please note, you could also use the abilities of COM API if your program uses .NET API, through COM interop. About COM interop, please refer to <Navisworks 2011 Installation Path>\api\net\documentation\NET Developers Guide.pdf or

 <Navisworks 2012 Installation Path>\api\net\documentation\NET API.chm (Developer Guide).

Best regards,
