Making spatial and attribute searches

Configuring spatial searches for local session

The following preferences must be set to optimize spatial searches: To enable automatic updates of spatial indexes, set the QSEARCH_update_enabled user preference to True. If it is set to False, you cannot make spatial searches. If you want to perform spatial searches from target part selections, set the RDV_set_default_use_selections_from_tree user preference to true to use selections from the tree or false to use selections from the table. Set the RDV_set_default_3DBox_search user preference to true to set the 3D box search option as default or false to set the proximity search option as default. Set the RDV_set_default_3DBox_dimensions user preference to set the default option for 3D box dimensions, 0 for centroid and size, 1 for origin and size, or 2 for maximum and minimum extents. Set the RDV_set_default_true_shape_filtering_ON user preference to true to turn TruShape filtering on by default or false otherwise. Set the RDV_default_find_intersecting_parts user preference to true to specify whether parts intersecting with the 3D bounding box during a spatial search are included in the results by default or false otherwise. Set the RDV_default_find_inside_parts user preference to true to search parts inside the 3D bounding box during a spatial search by default or false to search parts outside. Set the RDV_show_targets_on_results_dialog user preference to true to specify if the target parts table is displayed in the results dialog box after a proximity search or false otherwise. Set the RDV_show_targets_on_spatial_dialog user preference to true to specify if the target parts table is displayed in the spatial search dialog box after a proximity search or false otherwise. Set the RDV_set_default_slider_increment user preference to the default increment of the slider, for example, 0.01. Set the RDV_set_default_3D_Manipulator_ON user preference to true to have 3D manipulators on by default or false otherwise.
