OBSTRUCTION
Description
The OBSTRUCTION attribute indicates to the clash detection facility whether a primitive should be considered as a ‘Hard’ or ‘Soft’ obstruction, or not at all. Obstructions can be specified as HARD, SOFT or NONE, or alternatively they can be specified numerically as follows:
For ordinary primitives, the following rules apply:
-
No obstruction (internal graphical details)
-
Soft obstruction (access volumes etc.)
-
Hard obstruction (vessel ‘envelopes’ etc.).
Holes (for example, with negative primitives) also have the OBSTRUCTION attribute. OBSTRUCTION settings for Nozzles and Piping are given in the Catalog.
Note:
Refer to Display for further information of the Spatial Map which is used during clash-checking.
