# Group Clashes by Properties
The following steps will show you how to group clashes using properties in Navisworks.

In the Selection Tree and Properties dialogue review which Read Level contains the information you need for grouping your clashes.

# STEP 2:

# STEP 3:
Click the Options icon in the dialogue.
# STEP 4:
Go to Data tab and set CR 1 Property Read Level and CR 2 Property Read Level. Click OK.

# STEP 5:
Click on the Column Chooser tool in the Clash Manager ribbon.
# STEP 6:
Drag and drop selected property from Column Chooser to the tree structure in Clash Manager dialogue.
# NOTE: In the Column Chooser you will find all the properties in the Navisworks model.CR1 are the properties from Selection A model (Structural in our case) and CR2 are from Selection B model in Clash Detective (HVAC in our case).
