How do I check BIM clash status with Bildstak?

Question

Accepted Answer

Bildstak checks BIM clash status by reading your BCF coordination issues alongside the IFC model, joining each clash to the element it references — so you can query open, resolved and overdue clashes by discipline, package or element type in plain English. Clash status in most workflows means exporting a BCF file from Navisworks or Solibri, importing it into a coordination platform, and manually updating a status spreadsheet. Bildstak replaces that loop with a live query layer.

How it works:

1. Connect your BCF source — Bildstak reads BCF files or connects to your coordination platform.
2. Connect the IFC model — Bildstak also reads the IFC model (direct file, Speckle stream, or Autodesk APS) and indexes every element by its GlobalID.
3. Join automatically — each BCF topic references the GlobalID of the element(s) it concerns. Bildstak joins them, so clash records are attached to the model elements they affect.
4. Query in plain English — ask "how many open clashes involve structural steel on Level 4?" or "which clashes have been open more than 30 days?" and get a cited answer.
5. Element Inspector — click any element in the 3D viewer and the Inspector shows every BCF issue raised against it, alongside the linked RFI, cost line or schedule activity.

Useful queries:

- Open clash count by discipline pair (structural vs. MEP, civil vs. architecture)
- Clashes older than a defined age threshold (overdue for resolution)
- Clashes on critical-path elements, cross-referenced against the P6 schedule
- Resolved clash audit trail for handover evidence

Bildstak does not replace your coordination authoring tool (Navisworks, Solibri, Revizto) — it federates the output so you can reason across it alongside the rest of the project data.
