Hi to all!

I searched for this problem in Altium section of the forum but I couldn't find the answer. My problem is as follows: I want to place LCD (16x2) and some other parts under the LCD, all on the top layer (there is 16 pin female connector for LCD so it is detachable, and it gives me a plenty of unused space). Problem is that the Altium is reporting DRC error because I placed more components at the same place (some components are in the area of LCD's outline). How can I solve this? Is there some kind of "exclude from DRC" option that I can set for LCD (even I think it's not the good idea), or is there some more ellegant way to solve this?

Thanks in advance!

1st: make sure every component has a 3D model.

Thanks a lot! I just needed somebody to show me the right way. Now when I have a starting point I can google for the rest.

Thank you once more!
