Background

You can create 3D areas that you can verify when viewing in the 3D view.
When you name clash groups by area, you can sort groups by name to view all clashes within an area.
You can create overlapping groups. Distill includes the clash in the smallest area.
You can concatenate area names to include more than one area description. See .
