For example this Ethernet design called for 18 mils of clearance from the differential pairs to adjacent copper pours.
The diff pair nets were placed in class and a clearance rule was created to hold polygon pours back 18 mils.

This took care of the 18 mil (~3 x W) copper clearance requirement.

However as shown above, now there is a clearance error where the differential pairs connect to U500.
We can use a room to define a clearance exception for the differential pair at U500.
Define the Room
Design > Rooms
Tip: Use Shift + Click to Select an Existing Room
Tip: Select a handle on the Room > Drag Handle > Tab Key
Take note of the settings used for the room above, specifically:
Name RX_TX_ROOM
Not InComponent('U500')
'Keep Objects Outside'
Clearance Rule
That's It.
