Abstract
In example embodiments, techniques are provided for suppressing unwanted clashes between elements of a CAD project. A software application receives a user-defined script for a clash suppression rule that includes at least an abstraction-based query and control flow statements. The application executes the user-defined script for a given clash by mapping the abstraction-based query to a query of a relational database that maintains element data for the CAD project, returning element data from the relational database in response to the query, and evaluating the returned element data using the control flow statements to determine whether the given clash is an unwanted clash. The given clash is suppressed in response to determining the given clash is an unwanted clash.
