ACC Model Coordination - Allow utilization of Issue Templates When Creating an issue from a clash

[rdeardorff]

Users should be able to utilize Issue Templates when creating an issue from a clash.

We are utilizing custom fields and specific groups of watchers for different areas in a project and want an easy way to apply these values to clashes as we create them without having to fill them in manually for each clash.

I created Issue templates for each area assuming I would be able to utilize them when we created clashes only to find out that they do not apply.  😞

I could see this working as follows:

Method One:

1. User selects Create Issue.
2. User places pin.
3. First selection in the properties window allows you to select and apply template properties to the clash.

Method Two:

1. User selects Create Issue.
2. User places pin.
3. A small window appears that allows you to select a template (or none).
4. Properties window appears.

This would be an incredible time-saving enhancement. HVAC clashes would be assigned to a specific detailer role with a specific amount of time to fix it, etc.

This feature partially exists in the Coordination Add In for Navisworks. You can create an issue through a clash and then select a template. However, this is not the case when you create an issue by clicking on a model item.

@jhijlkema That then breaks the connected workflow of the geometry being highlighted in Revit too

@andrell.laniewicz Yeah you're right. So the more reason to fix this 🙂
