Changing Clash Result Name Programmatically

[garylzimmer]

I'm trying to rename my clashes but finding that clash results are read only. The documentation says that clash results' display names are available for get and set. How do I change the display name then?

I'm thinking I may have to follow this path of making copies, changing those names, deleting originals, then readding the altered named copies to the clash test.

Dang, I didn't read the documentation enough! The section on Clash Detective had a good example of what to do:

DocumentClash document_clash =
   Autodesk.Navisworks.Api.Application.MainDocument.GetClash();

// get an existing test
ClashTest test = document_clash.TestsData.Tests[test_index] as ClashTest;

// test read from document-part is read-only, create a copy
ClashTest new_test = test.CreateCopy() as ClashTest;

// edit the properties, results and result-groups of the new_test

// Now replace the test stored in the document with the whole of
// our edited hierarchy.  This is efficient as a way of doing many
// edits in one operation.
document_clash.TestsData.TestsReplaceWithCopy(test_index, new_test);
