SOL 222 (2025)

JSN

I am wondering what is the threshold distance for elements that get those fancy visual feedback. It seems like that this is not always showing.

The blue rays suggest that only those visible in the image are elements with issues due to being located beyond the maximum distance. However in fact there are also other elements far away which are not getting visual dimensions.

They also don’t get them if I increase the allowed maximum distance …

Also I am wondering why in the settings the minimum amount can be set to 0 (in the image it is 1) as such a value would make the rule never returning results … or am I mistaken and there is a use case why this would be beneficial?

Hi @JSN ,
Let me try to address your question regarding rule 222.

what is the threshold distance for elements that get those fancy visual feedback?

The threshold distance for maximum distance check is about 2x the required maximum distance.

The blue rays suggest that only those visible in the image are elements with issues due to being located beyond the maximum distance.

Those are elements that exist in the extended checked area and not all element that are located beyond the maximum distance. The maximum distance is supposed to use for a fixed area measured from the target element. The requirement is, such that check there is exist x amount of elements within Y distance from the target element and it wouldn’t make sense to check beyond the specified distance as you can determine if the requirement was satisfied by just checking up to the maximum distance only. Those visualized are there to show why the fail even though appear near the target element and near the required maxim distance.

Also I am wondering why in the settings the minimum amount can be set to 0 (in the image it is 1) as such a value would make the rule never returning results … or am I mistaken and there is a use case why this would be beneficial?

You are right but if the value is set to 0, it is already covered by minimum distance check, as 0 is the default and the only allowed value for minimum distance check.

Thanks for the feedback and we will look into these bits that can create confusion in understand the rule.

Ok, noted. Thanks.
