He ran the tool. He linked the construction schedule—the 4D simulation. The animation showed Week 34: Steel crew installs the brace. Week 36: Glass crew installs the balcony.
Crunch. The simulation played out the collision in slow motion. The brace would shatter the balcony before the caulking even dried. For 90 seconds, Navisworks thought
He activated the tool. A slice-plane cut through the tower like a scalpel, revealing the hidden war inside. He toggled the Transparency —the steel turned to ghost, the glass became solid. The red clash pulsed.
As the models merged, Navisworks didn't just stack them. It breathed . The software’s core—a clash detection engine named —woke up. Like a digital hound, it sniffed through 400,000 objects. Within 17 seconds, it found 1,204 "hard clashes."
Then he ran a . He told the software: "Assume the brace stays. Assume the balcony stays. Find a path."
