Proximity Search and TruShape
Proximity search returns parts within the proximity range from the external surface of the target part.
Proximity search with TruShape returns only the parts that actually fall within that proximity range of the true geometric shape.
Proximity search without TruShape (only the bounding box filter) returns all the parts whose bounding boxes intersect the proximity range, including parts that are not truly within range once actual geometry is considered.
