# Priority Grouping

The following steps will show you how automatically assign clashes to the appropriate contractor depending on the priority (depending on what should move first).

# STEP 1:

Go to iConstruct panel and run Clash Manager tool.

# STEP 2:

Click the Options icon in the dialogue.

# STEP 3:

Go to Priority Grouping tab.

# STEP 4:

Check Enable Priority Grouping.

# NOTE: To be able to set up the order for the Priority Grouping, you need to have Search Sets or Selection Sets already set up.

# STEP 5:

Select the Search Set or Selection Set of the objects who should move first (Furniture in our example).

# STEP 6:

Click the highlighted icon in the dialogue to move the selected Search Set or Selection Set to the highest Priority Grouping level.

# STEP 7:

Click the highlighted Assign to icon in the dialogue.

# STEP 8:

Specify a name to whom the clashing objects should be assigned to (Interior Designer in our example) and click OK.

# STEP 11:

Open the Column Chooser tool in the Clash Manager dialogue.

# STEP 12:

# STEP 13:

Once your grouping layout is set, click on Save icon in the Clash Manager ribbon, give your Layout a name and Save.

# NOTE: Saved layouts can later be reused with other clash tests and models as well as used in BIMflow. You can switch between different pre-saved layouts from the drop-down menu. To switch between Layouts, at least two are required.
