A linked Revit model and elements in the current model
Running an Interference Check
1 If desired, select some elements in a view.
2 Click Collaborate tab
The Interference Check dialog opens.
If you selected elements in the view, the dialog is filtered to display only those element categories.
If you did not select any elements, the dialog displays all categories from the current project.
3 On the left side of the dialog, select a value from the first Categories from drop-down.
For example, select Current Project.
NOTE If you selected a linked Revit model to run a check, you must select its name from this option. For
example, if you selected the linked model called Mylink1, select that name from Categories from drop-down.
After you select the name, element categories in the linked model are listed.
4 Select the desired categories.
For example, select Roofs as the category.
5 On the right side of the dialog, select a value from the second Categories from drop-down.
This value could be a current selection of elements, the current project, or a linked Revit model.
6 Select the other desired categories.
For example, to complete a roof-floor interference check, select floors as the category.
7 Click OK.
If there are no interferences to report, a dialog displays informing you of this.
If there are interferences to report, the Interference Report dialog displays. The dialog lists all elements
that are in conflict with one another.
Interferences are grouped according to the way you generated the check. By default, they are grouped
as Category 1 (left category column) and Category 2 (right category column). You can change this
grouping to Category 2, Category 1. For example, if you ran the roof and floor check, the dialog would
list the roof category first, and then which floors are intersecting the roof.
8 To see one of the elements that is intersected, select its name in the Interference Report dialog, and
click Show.
A view opens that displays the problem.
9 To correct a conflict, click in the view and modify the overlapping elements.
The Interference Report dialog remains visible.
10 When you have fixed the problem intersection, in the Interference Report dialog, click Refresh.
If the problem has been resolved, the problem elements are removed from the list of conflicts.
NOTE Refresh rechecks only those interferences in the current report. It does not rerun the interference
check.
You can continue resolving conflicts in this manner.
If you cannot resolve all conflicts without additional input from team members, you can generate an
HTML version of the report.
11 In the Interference Report dialog, click Export.
Coordinate panel Interference Check drop-down Run Interference Check.
