Block Clash Detection

Hi All,

Is it possible to perform Clash detection with blocks, linked or embeded?

Thank you,
Pavel

Hi Pavel- - as far as I can see, no.

Pascal,

Thank you for responding. The Clash command is a valuable addition to Rhino’s tool chest. Is it at all possible to include blocks within this command’s domain in the future? I use a lot fastener, assembly and armature blocks in my models and it would be fantastic to be able to run clash detection between those.

Thank you for developing these great tools,
Pavel

Depending on the block you could extract the top level geometery, or paste and explode the blocks into a new file to reference in to clash. Clash detection does work through worksessions.

Grasshopper could also be used if that’s an option.
