iModels - copy/import Clash Detection Paramters

Hi there,

When creating Clash Tests across various iModels on the same project, it's not possible to import the parameters from another iModel's test.

For instance, we have a scope of works which is massive and has had to be split up into 12 different iModels.

Clash tests need to be run across them using the same criteria as each other. Instead, they need to be set up again, when it would be far quicker and easier if we could import a Clash Test that's been used elsewhere - omitting the results, but only contain the criteria.

Practical use of functionality?

Clash test > Import test > From iModel > Select from List > Import > Run


What is the impact of not doing this?

It slows down the time it takes to set up a Clash Form. It would be far quicker to simply import a pre-made Clash Form, than to manually input the parameters each time.

It also minimises the risk of mistakes being made when generating multiple forms over the course of a day. It's a monotonous task which can lead to human error.

It makes the process a little more streamlined and more efficient.
