Obstructions/Exclusions Tab

When checking for clashes the default obstruction is All which means the element is checked for clashes with everything in the database. To check for clashes against specific obstructions and exclusions, you can set the rules using the Obstructions/Exclusions tab. You add the elements to the Obstructions list and can exclude elements by adding them to the Exclusions list.

To add an element to either the Obstructions list or the Exclusion list, select the method of selection from the drop-down list, select the element, if required to do so and click Add.

Note:
By default the Obstructions list contains All the design elements in the current Multiple Database (MDB).

To remove an element from either the Obstructions list or the Exclusion list, highlight the element and click on it and then click Remove.

To remove all the elements in either the Obstructions list or the Exclusion list click Clear. A Confirm window is displayed, you need to confirm if it want to clear the list. Click Yes to clear the list or No to cancel the operation.
