correct RF shield footprint, with parts inside

PascalVM

Hi, I have a footprint for a RF shield. I'm getting a lot of DRC errors "package to package spacing", basically for any part that is placed within the RF shield.

Here are screenshots. What would be the appropriate way to handle this footprint, so that it would not produce these errors?

    If this is a two-piece shield (e.g. base and cover), be aware of rework issues. C13 and L2 would be a *** to rework with the cover off, since they are close to the base wall. Just a thought. Been there, done that.

    C13 and L8 look like a drain bias network.  Those usually don't change as much.
