Abstract
A computer-automated separation rules compliance method is disclosed. Separation rules that establish separation distance requirements between objects in a three-dimensional (3D) virtual environment are defined. Sample locations associated with at least some of the objects in the 3D virtual environment are specified. One or more of proximity and/or collision analysis is performed on the sample locations to determine separation distances between the objects. The determined separation distances are compared to the separation distance requirements. Objects in the 3D virtual environment that violate the separation rules based on said comparing are identified.
