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.
Perform the following settings:
A default search template for the 3D search which uses only one algorithm and so normally is a bit quicker than the others, but possibly provides not as well results.
Standard search : Medium quality and speed.
Default search template for the 3D search which uses a lot of algorithms, but takes a little bit more time.
Minimum similarity in %: Determine the minimal tolerated similarity.
Maximum number of search result: Hereby you can limit the displayed results. It does not affect the search itself.
Search all source lines which have fingerprints: If this option is deactivated, the first project line with available fingerprint is taken.
Show only the best matching result per project
By clicking on the button the dialog box Custom variables opens.
Here you have the possibility to define variables, which shall be displayed in the report in addition. These are displayed at each part.
Possible are both ERP variables and variables from the characteristic attribute table.
First click on in order to add a new line.
Via double-click into the line under Variable type the list field opens with the following options:
Via double-click into the line under "Variable" a list field with the following options opens:
Options at variable type "ERP":
At selection "ERP" the ERP variables of the table are read and displayed in a list. You can also enter any other value.
Options at variable type "Table":
The characteristic attribute variables of the search directory (search source) are listed. You can also enter any other value.
Enter a labeling by clicking on it. This will be displayed in the report later.
Optionally you can state a unit. (ONLY possible at variables of the type "Table")
If the variable has no own unit, the entered unit is displayed.
If the variable has a unit, the value is converted - if necessary.
The diameter in the table is given in inches. You have stated mm as unit. -> The value is automatically converted from inches to mm.
Via dialog section Filter for results search results can be further restricted. Available filters are Variables search and Topology search. The functions can be multiple used by clicking on the Add search function button.
This function is available for the following reports.
The functionality is according to the standard search functions:
Details on Variables search are found under Section 3.1.1.6.4.3, “ Variables search ”.
Details on Topology search are found under Section 3.1.1.6.4.8, “ Topology search ”.
Start the report creation by clicking on .
Possibly a message appears that the linear (geometric) index is not up-to-date.
Create the index in PARTadmin under Index administration -> Create geometric search index.
