Newbie - Provision for Void question

[maggie350]

Hi everyone! I’m very new to Solibri and struggling with PFV rules. I have a provision for void (PFV) in the model that all MEP systems should go through. I created:

• A rule that ignores all MEP components inside the PFV.

• A rule that flags MEP components completely outside the PFV.

Now, I need a rule to identify MEP components that are not fully inside the PFV (i.e., partially inside or overlapping). How should I structure this rule? Additionally, I’m seeking structured learning resources for Solibri, as I find the software challenging to navigate on my own. I would greatly appreciate any recommendations for online courses, tutorials, or training programs that could help me develop my skills. Thanks a lot!

Hi, have you heard about Gatekeeper Rules?

There is another discussion quite similar to your topic. I’ve alson been trying to solve this, still unsuccesful (mostly due to lack of learning time). But I suggest you take a look at this thread, maybe you’ll get some ideas:
