Our 3D CAD supplier models have been moved to 3Dfindit.com, the new visual search engine for 3D CAD, CAE & BIM models.
You can log in there with your existing account of this site.
The content remains free of charge.
Top right on the tabbed page Search results, you can select different display modes.
In the following sections the different display modes are explained.
In Details mode (default) the variables of ALL results are displayed, which possibly results in a wide table (if many catalogs have been searched or the search provides different parts). So possibly fields remain empty, if the respective part does not contain certain variables.[51]
Variable filters in the column header
At the top of each column you can see an input field for filtering. Even if not all hits are displayed in the search results, the filter affects all hits and the display of table variables is dynamically adjusted. You can filter a number of variables one by another, already entered values remain.
In the following example a search for "head cap bolt" and the numerical value "50" has been performed. Search terms are marked with yellow color.
You can position interesting variables further forward by drag & drop with pressed mouse button in order to view them at a glance.
In the following example nominal thread diameter, length and pitch have been filtered.
The mode Table is widely according to the mode Details. However, smaller preview images are displayed here and the column Summary is missing, so that you can see more columns at a glance.
In the mode Symbols large preview images and the most important information such as standard number or standard name is displayed.
In the Cloud Map mode you can find the following features:
Geometric similar parts are closer together than less similar parts.
In this way you get a quick overview on the search results and possibly can specify the search in a further step.
By clicking on a part (graphic) a tooltip with part information on standard number and standard name is displayed, furthermore a 3D preview.
Above the Cloud Map a toolbar with additional functions is displayed:
Transparent background: Turn of transparency, if graphics are overlapped and you want to focus on a marked graphic.
Show relations: If you activate the checkbox, the relation lines based on textual accordance are displayed. Geometric and textual information does not have to be according necessarily.
In the mode Partition Map the results are partitioned in rectangles.
At first the main level is displayed, always four cluster with four representatives each. So you have 16 options. When clicking on a cluster you see further images and automatically zoom in, step by step down to the lowest level with parts. In each cluster the number of contained results is displayed in the top right corner.
[51] you can change the display that only the variables of the respective result are displayed. On this see Section 3.1.1.6.7.2, “Columns show/hide ” -> Option "All table variables".
