Navisworks Clash Color Options and Bugs


As a BIM Manager I've used a lot of NWD's created by other people. Often these files are set differently from what I like or what I use with my own files. A couple of weeks ago I was using one of these files.  All the clashes, regardless of their status, were showing up white.  I finally figured out that this had to do with the render style lighting.




I'm not sure if this is a bug, but when the render style lighting is set to "full lights", clashes are white.  Changing the lighting to "scene lights", "head light" or "no lights" fixes this.






Another style of clash coloring I've come across is no coloring at all.  The shot on the left shows the model, colored by system.


The shot on the right shows highlight all and dim other.  The clashing items are in their original color.  This can be changed by checking or unchecking the "highlight" box in the item 1 or item 2 panes.  Both boxes need to be unchecked to show the original colors.  Checking the highlight box in either pane will highlight all objects.
