If you are trying to group several objects together to save them for later viewing, you are looking for Selection Sets.
Do not just export a PDF of clashes. Use the Clash Detective window to assign clashes to specific team members. Export an HTML report that allows the project manager to filter by "Assigned to: Mechanical Contractor." Navisworks Manage

Verdict: Navisworks Manage remains the king for large-scale infrastructure and complex MEP coordination. Solibri is better for architectural code checking (egress, fire ratings). Revizto is better for real-time issue tracking with non-technical stakeholders. | Feature | Navisworks Manage | Solibri Model
