Creating an obstacle table element

There are two ways in which obstacles can be organized in the obstacle table:

• Grouped—If you choose to group the obstacles by their ID, this will make a single record in the table and create an effect like that of a pivot table.
• Not Grouped—An obstacle table where the obstacles are not grouped will show multiple records for the same obstacle if it penetrates multiple surfaces. This is the default setting.
