Intersection of Different Components via Priority

The values for Priority that you specify when creating a part not only affect objects of the same type within a drawing file (as before), but also control the intersection of different components with each other.

Figure: Intersection of different components in a drawing file via priority

• Intersection is performed regardless of the type of component and height (horizontal, vertical, different heights.)
• The intersection is based on the Priority property.
• The priority attribute can also be set in the properties palette or in the modify attributes dialog.
• You can also see the intersection in the floor plan (e.g. for different heights).

You can also change the priority afterwards in the properties palette: This has the advantage that the intersection of the component with all intersected elements is immediately recalculated without having to explicitly perform restore 3D view.

Note: Until now, you could prevent the intersection of two components by using different relative heights at the bottom. This is now no longer possible; please use the priority instead.
