Obstructions

Obstructions shows anything between a laser projector and the tool that will block the laser light. This feature must be used with Simulation.

Obstructions appear for each laser projector enabled in your assembly. If anything is in a laser's path, bold red lines appear and you see where the laser light will hit if it does not reach the tool. If no obstructions are present the line color does not change.

Note: Obstruction simulation takes longer with complex assemblies. Every component in the assembly is tested for obstructions, and each laser projector is tested independently against each component. To shorten the computation time, you can suppress any components that you know will not cause an obstruction (such as the floor).
