Applies color and transparency to SearchSets settled in json profile
Applies color and transparency to selection
Clash nodes allows you to access and work with Clash Detective functionality. You can group, rename or query Clash Test, Clash groups and individual clashes.
Group clashes in clash test by cluster. From ASDK SDK examples.
Group clashes in clash test by nearest grid intersection. From ASDK SDK examples. This node will not work if current document has no Grids.
Group clashes in clash test by nearest level. From ASDK SDK examples. This node will not work if current document has no levels.
Group clashes in clash test by Model. Input Model is a model in current document. From ASDK SDK examples.
Port of awesome BIM42 addin, this node group clashes in by Level, Grid, Selection, Assignation, Approval or Status. This nodes can group clashes twice. It has everything built-in as dropdown boxes.
Compact all clashes, run it disconnected or put any input to order the execution after any other node.
Reports all relevant information (ok, maybe to much) from Clash result (group or single). Works great to export a report of clashes or to use it with RenameClash node. Needs to be connected to GetClashResults.
Return result of clashes from clash test.
Return clash tests in current document
Return list elements involved on each clash result (group or single clash).
Refresh all clashes in current document
Rename a clash result by GUID. It's a good idea to use in excel/CSV after exporting the info with GetClashInfo's Clash Name and GUID

Return all SelectionSets and SearchSets available in current model. SearchSets can be filters using GetAPIParameterValue and quering HasSearch for true
Returns elements in SearchSet

Create a SearchSet based on a simple search by Category, property and Value
Creates a simple search (conditions = value) to be used with "SetSearchRelation" and "CreateSearchSetFromSearch". All inputs are strings, Negate inverts the search .
