Provides options for assigning interference checking priorities to aspects, specifying the compare methods, and optionally including a clearance rule.

Activate local interference detection

Starts the local interference checking process.

Assign interference checking priority to aspects

Select each aspect that you want checked and assign a priority to it.

Aspect

Lists all the object aspects that are identified for use in the model. This includes the system-defined aspects and the user-defined aspects. Select those aspects in the Aspect column that apply to your objects, and then specify the type of comparison in the Type column.

Type

Lists three types of checking you can apply to the selected aspect: Required, Optional, and Not checked. Choose the appropriate type for each aspect you select in the Aspect column. Not checked means the selected aspect is not used for interference checking.

Compare

Select which aspect types are to be compared against each other to find interferences.

Required - Required

Defines interferences classified as hard/hard. For example, one pipe physically intersects another pipe.

Required - Optional

Defines interferences that are not as severe and are classified as hard/soft. For example, one pipe overlaps the optional aspect of the other object but does not actually intersect the other object.

Optional - Optional

Defines interferences that are not severe and are classified as soft/soft. For example, the maintenance aspect of one piece of equipment overlaps the maintenance aspect of another.

Smart 3D - Point Cloud

Includes an attached point cloud during interference checking. The point cloud must have a valid connection to the model with no unresolved vendor licensing issues for this option to be available.

Include clearance rule

Specifies the clearance rule to add to the Required type of interference check.

Marker size

Specifies the size of the interference graphic marker. Choose a size that is clearly readable, but one that does not interfere with the smaller details in the workspace view.
