Whenever you create a new session, you are working with templates. In this context, a template is a standard workspace file that a user has placed in the templates folder; you use a template as a pattern to assemble the parameters you want for a new work session.

Checking Interferences
SP3D provides two mode of operations: Server-based Interference checking (Database Detect). - Run on a separate IFC server - Look for all interferences for the full model Interactive interference checking (Local Detect). - Help the designer in real time - Local to a session (what you see in your workspace)

2006. Intergraph Corporation. All Rights Reserved.

66

Checking Interferences
Major Differences between the two methods:
Database Detect
Runs all the time (System Admin. choice) Minimizes impact on users and improves performance Creates persistent interferences that are stored in the model database Based on administrator settings (controlled by permission groups) Provides feed back on how much has been checked

Local Detect
Works only within the current session Provides immediate graphical feedback (works in a dynamic mode) Shows interferences when the pointer is idle for a brief amount of time; based on a hesitation approach Based on individual user settings Checks only created and modified items

Users can visualize the interferences Clears dynamic interferences after (persistent items) refreshing workspace
