Section Box Around Clashes
Coming soon
Before you run this
Active document must be open. At least one valid element ID must be provided or selected. A non-template 3D view must exist in the document.
After it runs
The active 3D view has a section box tightly enclosing the clashing elements. The clashing elements are selected in the UI.
When to use this
- User wants to zoom into a set of clashing elements to inspect them in 3D.
- Clash manager highlights a clash group and user wants a focused 3D view.
Don't use this when
Creating section boxes around arbitrary points (use manual section box instead). Running clash detection (use clash detection command first to get element IDs).
