Using Collections and Local Clash Limits

You can define one or more collection of objects (products, resources and items) and assign local clash limits to these collections. These limits are taken into account by the solver to find a collision-free Track. Collections and local clash limits are defined in the Multi-Clearance tab of the Path Finder panel.

Before you begin: The following scenario illustrates how to set local clash limits to find a Track on a collection of objects. Content is a simple assembly comprising five products in a simulation context.
