I'll write a lisp for this so you can select any report and draw 3d circles in acad. Maybe I add 3d text for layers or something too.
stay tuned

this lisp draws circles of radius 2.0, you can tweak to change or draw spheres or something.

sure, I am outputting a text file report, so lines look like this:
Name: Clash1
Distance: ft
Image Location:
Clash Point: 119153.15ft, 106778.39ft, 190.98ft
------------------
Name: Clash2
Distance: ft
Image Location:
Clash Point: 119230.15ft, 107842.23ft, 198.66ft
------------------
and so on.
You can have any data in the text file besides just clash point.
Here is what the lisp does:
1) asks for text file
2) loops through the lines of the text file, and finds ones starting with "Clash Point: "
3) extracts the 3d coordinate in that line
4) draws a circle at the coordinate.
So you should make the clash report as text file, load the lisp (drag in from explorer), run IMPORTNWCONF at command line, then pick the text file. (be sure to have ucs on world, and osnaps off...)
It will draw circles on the current layer.
Some variattions we could do are to put the circles on different layers depending on clearance or some other info in the report.
You tell me what to do using the data in the report, and I can mod the lisp to do so.
You might want a block inserted instead of a cricle drawn, all that is easy and I have done it for other progs in my toolbox.
My needs were kind of simple, just a circle.
Note that you can then pull the 3d circles back into navisworks, for whatever visualization helps you.
Maybe spheres or text with clearances would help, you name it.

just a question, can you used switch back if you dont have the original dwg file?
often times we recieved nwd file from our clients but they dint want to issue the dwg files.
We have also developed a tool for Revit :

The 3D spheres can be exported to AutoCAD.
Dear jmaeding,
Your lisp was very useful for us. Can you help to modify a bit as the clash sphere as a block and with the name for identify of the clashes ( eg. ECS vs EL clash no x...)
Many Many Thanks for your kindly help!
Blessing,
Stanley
