Bird Tools - Clash Preventor
Digitally signed app
Popis
The future of coordination lies in Clash Prevention.
Bird Tools - Clash Preventor is a free to try Autodesk® Revit® add-in that allows users to prevent clashes by running clash prevention tests while they work.
The tool automatically tests modified elements for clashes. Manual modes also exist, allowing the user to check selected elements, visible in view elements, or all elements for clashes as well, along with a link-to-link mode that checks link instances of linked documents for clashes against each other in a host document.
Moreover, starting with v5.0, Bird Tools – Clash Preventor has as an exclusive functionality not found in any other Revit® plugin, the ability to run Revit commands asynchronously in the background without freezing the main app’s interface. This means that all manual clash detection modes and the real-time mode now run in the background, allowing users to run any type of clash detection asynchronously, while they are editing the model at the same time, and without any performance degradation. That’s clash detection taken out of 1995 and into the 21st century…
Users can filter elements by category, knowing that Revit links and IFC links are supported by this tool as well. In addition to category filtering, the tool also supports parametric filtering, which enables users to filter clashes in/out of the reports based on their Revit parameters, through built-in Revit Rule Filters (a.k.a View Filters).
When clashing elements are detected, users are allowed to navigate and visualize clashes in 3D by automatically creating a section box around the elements, and have the ability to tile all open views when they proceed to solve the clashes for a better visualization. The built-in Clash Browser automatically generates a Clash Report that simplifies the clash resolution process, and that report can be exported to/from Excel®.
The tool also includes Autodesk® Navisworks® Report Import mode, where users can import XML clash detection reports generated by Navisworks® straight into Revit® for an easier visualization and clash resolution process.
This tool is a huge time saver as it prevents clashes without wasting the user's time, and because it helps reduce clashes, which in turn reduces the time usually wasted on detecting and solving clashes through conventional clash detection tests.
Revit 2019 to 2026 editions are all supported.

We are a company that supplies BIM models, thus, model quality and geometry correctness is part of our standard.
Meeting high-quality standards is quite challanging, especially when it comes to clash detection.
Clash preventor has saved us vast amounts of time, made clash detection drastically more efficient.
We love how the tool provides all the needed configurations and naviagation tools to identify and resolve clashes.
10/10
Thank you very much for the 5-star review and we're very glad that Clash Preventor is up to your expectations! We appreciate the support and kind words.
For large projects we have to spend huge amount of time to find the clashes even with NavisWorks.
This plugin works best for realtime clash detection.
I really appreciate your feedback Ali! Thank you!
This app is a well-developed tool for realtime collision detection in Revit. The price of the add-in is very competitive, considering that options for realtime collision detection natively in Revit are limited, and other options cost hundreds more. Very well done Bird Tools. I know that this add-in will only become better as updates and improvements added to the app.
Very useful tool, even if you should only use the real time clash detection functionality.
FEEDBACK OF THE MEP TEAM:
Pro:
•Everyone remarked the increased projects quality result (clashes with other technics, not enough space in shafts, ceilings, technical rooms etc.) and time saved using it;
•The tool is really simple and powerful, and it can help us step-up to the next level of the clash detection process;
•It saves time when modeling in 2D views as you don`t have to keep a 3D view opened for checking;
•It eliminates the need of Navisworks software and time loss for exporting models;
•It would be a good practice way of working in Revit right from the early stages of the project;
•It helps newcomers to develop an aware mode of working.
All the reasons stated above helps us improve our current clash detection workflow which will result in better coordinated projects in less time and with less money spent.
Requests for improvement:
•It would be great if the user can select in more detail, the categories of elements from the linked model (Walls from linked model - structural model – and not all walls);
•Was tested in a large project, and to check the clashes in a view it took more than 10 minutes (over 1.000 elements);
•There are clashes which are accepted, for example a pipe thru some walls. A great feature would be to mark these kinds of clashes as reviewed;
•Overwrite the elements graphics with red and green for example, when viewing the selected clash in 3D. It would help a lot the user
Thank you for your positive feedback. We will make sure all the features are added to the App as soon as possible, and we'll make sure the next version will have an even more optimized performance.
