Set the prediction model that is used to calculate the link availability (see Availability) and tick “Use Clutter” to include clutter data with the path profiles, untick to work without clutter information. These parameters are stored with the project.

note

When changing between working with or without clutter this changes the way that obstructions are portrayed and the version of ITU-R P.526 that is used to calculate obstruction loss. Changing an existing project to use clutter will change the obstruction loss predicted on paths within the project.
