The Interference tool in the measure tab and prepare tab only works on solid bodies, not faceted bodies. To detect interference, turn on \u201cBody Interference\u201d in the Display options. Refer attached image which shows this option. This uses the faceting of solid bodies to do a visual comparison of interferences but won\u2019t give you an actual measured interference. The benefit is that it displays in real time and will update when you move an object. The con is that it\u2019s graphically intensive and can be slow with a large assembly.<\/p>\n
