Define a proximity filter

Procedure In the Spatial Criteria dialog box, select the Proximity button. (Optional) Select Valid overlays only and Teamcenter loads otherwise physically mutually exclusive parts, filtering out those known to never coexist in any possible variant combination with any one of the target parts. It determines the minimum number of variant rules that cover all product variants in which the target components can exist. This selection requires that classic variants are configured at your site. (Optional) Select True Shape filtering if you want to test items with intersecting bounding boxes to identify if they have TruShape volumes that intersect the TruShape volumes of the selected objects. Depending on the TruShape parameters configured, Teamcenter displays the geometry of each object as regular cubes (voxels) to provide a simplified representation of the actual shape. TruShape searches return more accurate results but may take longer to complete. Define a proximity value in the Distance box in the Spatial Criteria dialog box and click OK. Results Teamcenter limits the search to those parts within the defined proximity of the parts selected in the viewer or structure tree. A part is considered within the proximity if any portion of it is within the specified distance; the part may not be completely within the specified distance.
