Create and Manage Coordination Rule Groups

Coordination rules can be run individually or as groups in the Clash Manager Rules panel. Coordination rule groups let you run all rules that are relevant to a scope item at the same time. Rule grouping is helpful when the project's overall scope is divided across the project team.

A best practice is to create discipline focused rules. For example, when you clash piping/plumbing versus steel, then make the piping/plumbing your primary tag and steel your secondary tag. This type of rule groups related steel clashes to a single piping/plumbing clash.

Considerations

Admin and Standard users can create coordination rules. Read-only users can also create coordination rules but cannot save any actions to the project.
