Define a proximity filter

Procedure

1. In the Spatial Criteria dialog box, select the Proximity button.

2. (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.

3. 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.
