Collision Detection Fails Silently On Federated Model Using RVT And IFC Hotlinks

[Helio_Avila]

Hello everyone,

I ran into a silent failure with the Collision Detection tool while building a federated model.

My setup involves hotlinking consultant models. Most of these arrive as .rvt files, while the architectural model comes as an .ifc.

To run the clash detection, I set the selection criteria to use the Master ID of these hotlinks combined with "All 3D Elements".

When I execute the tool, the clash window simply closes. The system generates no error message and produces no results.

The active layers all have the same priority value (including the master layer), and all materials are set to participate in CD.

Has anyone experienced this? I would appreciate any feedback on potential workflow flaws or workarounds.
