Run interference checks and create tables and reports

Now we're going to continue in this drawing and

00:06

check for clashes between the storm and sanitary networks

00:11

from prospector under networks. Right? Click on interference checks

00:16

and choose create interference check

00:20

in the drawing. Pick a part on the storm network

00:24

and then pick a part on the sanitary network

00:28

in the crate interference check dialogue.

00:31

Click on 3d proximity check criteria

You could now adjust the networks to remove the interferences.

01:32

Now we'll create a table in the drawing from our storm network

01:37

from the annotate ribbon tab

02:00

click. OK. To create the table

02:03

place the table in the drawing away from the design.

02:07

The table displays the structural information

02:10

as well as details of both the incoming and outgoing pipes.

02:16

Note that the structures are not displayed in any order
