Run a Heatmap

Objective

To run a Heatmap to find the areas where there are the most clashes.

Background

Use the Heatmap to identify the areas in your model with the most clashes and where the most trades clash. The Heatmap provides a centralized area for review, tracking and communication about the critical areas. You can target your coordination efforts and resolve them quickly.

Best practice is to run the Heatmap:

  • At the beginning of the coordination phase, when the largest number of clashes occur.

  • Several ties throughout coordination to reassess the most critical areas as models are updated.

Things to Consider

  • Required User Permissions:

    • Standard or Admin level permissions on the project's Coordination Issues tool.

Steps

  1. Click Heatmap in Procore Clash Manager.

  2. Select the clash tests to analyze, or Select All.

  3. Select the Floor Plan Up Direction.

  4. Enter the number of HotSpots to Show.

  5. Select the clash statuses to analyze. The Heatmap analyzes new, active, or renewed clashes by default.

  6. Select an area to limit the Heatmap, if needed. You must have defined areas in your model.

  7. Click Show HeatMap. The model displays the 10 highest clashing areas.

  8. Click Publish.

  9. Select the options to update your clash groups.

    • Prepend Clash Group Name With Hotspot Number: Adds the hotspot number to the front of the name of the clash group. This allows everyone to work on the same hotspot to resolve the issue.

    • Save Heatmap Viewpoint: Creates a viewpoint that everyone can see highlighting each hotspot.

    • Create Hot Spot Clash Tests: Creates one clash test for each hotspot, so that you can review all the clashes at the same time.

  10. Click Publish Heat Map.
