From Clash Bubbles

The other way is from selecting the View Clash button from the HydraCAD ribbon, and then choosing a Clash Bubble from the project.

After picking a clash bubble, it will open a 3D View.

Inside the 3D View

From inside the 3D View, it allows for a better perspective at what is causing the clash. If from the 3D View the clash isn't entirely visible, the view can be expanded by clicking on the 3D View then pulling the arrows in any direction.

Once the view is expanded, if it wasn't already visible as to what was causing the clash, the view can be maneuvered to see what exactly is the issue.
