3In the Attenuation Factor boxes, specify the attenuation factor for 802.11a and 802.11b/g technology (0 to 100 dB). The default is the typical attenuation factor for the material chosen.

4Click Finish to save the changes and close the dialog box.

„If you created RF obstacles for all objects in a layer, all objects in the layer are converted into separate RF obstacles.

„If you created RF obstacles for an area, all objects in the area are converted into separate RF obstacles.

„If you created RF obstacles for multiple selected objects, all objects you selected are converted into separate RF obstacles.

„If you created RF obstacles for grouped objects, each grouped object is converted into a single RF obstacle.

Drawing RF Obstacles

1Display the floor plan in the Content panel.

2In the Task List panel, click Tools.

3In the RF Obstacle area under Layout, click one of the icons and draw the object as described in the following table.

Object	Action
	Diagonally drag the cursor over the area where you
	want the circle to appear.
(circle)
	Diagonally drag the cursor over the area where you
	want the square to appear.
(square)	3WXM treats squares as one solid object when
	calculating RF attenuation. To draw a square outline,
	draw four lines in a square shape, which are treated as
	four separate RF obstacles.
	1 Click at a vertex, and drag the cursor to the next
	connected vertex.
(parallelogram)	2 Click again, and drag the cursor until the
