To Create Structural Member Interference Conditions

Use the following procedure to create structural member interference conditions. Typically, after creating interference conditions for a structural member, you freeze the layer where the interfering objects are placed. If you move or edit the objects, the structural member updates accordingly.

Note: Objects used as interference conditions are not included for the Area in the LIST command or in a Schedule Query result.

1. Create one or more objects in the actual location where you want the interference condition positioned in relation to the structural member.
2. Select the structural member.
3. Click Structural Member tabModify panelInterference Condition drop-downAdd.
4. Select the objects to use as interference conditions, and press Enter.
   

   Note: AEC objects from externally referenced (xref) files can be added to a structural member as interference conditions so long as the following conditions are met:

   • The object is a three-dimensional (3D) body
   • The xref is found
   • The xref is read/write
   • The xref is not locked or opened by another user
   • The xref is loaded
