When you run interference detection, you can check for interferences between MEP objects, or between MEP objects and building elements. For example, while designing a supply and return duct system, you can make sure that the supply and return duct do not interfere with each other. You can also make sure that the duct systems do not interfere with any architectural or structural objects.
