interferences will still be detected.

Clearance spaces in an equipment family
You can create clearance spaces by modeling an extrusion in the family that
isassociatedwithareferenceplaneattheappropriatefaceoftheequipment.
You can use other reference planes to control the size of the clearance space
and constrain it to the equipment. In the example of the electrical panel,
reference planes were created to constrain the top of the panel so that the
front clearance space will always be 6″ (150 mm) above the top of the panel.
The dimension for the space height was done in the extrusion sketch, as
illustrated in
Figure 19.49
, which shows the plan view of the face-hosted
family.
