you can look for coverage holes by displaying coverage. To locate
coverage holes:
Display the optimized RF coverage area to view the results of the
corrected attenuation data
Lock down deployed MAPs in the coverage area (so that 3WXM will
not move MAPs in your network plan during the compute and place
process)
Compute and place
Replan your network based on compute and place results
