Attribute List Search

Use the Attribute List Search to search multiple Attribute Values at once and combine the results into a single layer.

1. Click the Attribute List Search tab in the Super Search window.

2. If you have a specific Attribute Value, type it into this box.

   • This menu is case sensitive, so ensure proper spelling

3. To combine multiple Attribute Values into one layer, check the Combine results into one layer box.

   • Type the specific Attribute Value, press enter, and type the next Attribute Value

     

4. In the Layer Management window, name the layer in the Selected Layer text box (just below the list of available layers).

   

Box Search

The Box Search option allows you to search based on a set of parameters (which you set on the minimum and maximum X,Y, Z axis) and loads all available Models in this Space.

1. In the Layer Management window, click Create Layer.

2. In the Super Search window, click the Box Search tab and check the Display selection box (on the next line down).

   

   • This action provides a visual box representing your search radius

   • Drag the small blue sliders within the minimum and maximum X,Y,Z axis spaces to adjust the box parameters

     • Or, click inside a parameter box and press Tab to type the value manually

       

3. Once you select your plane, click Box Query in the Super Search window to render the Model.

   

4. Name this layer in the Selected Layer box (just below the list of layers) in the Layers Management window.

Location Search

Use the Location Search option to create a detailed layer based on the lateral/vertical position of either the:

• Camera position

• Selected model

• Center of the X,Y,Z axis

• In the Layer Management window, click Create Layer.

• In the Super Search window’s Location Search tab, drag the small blue sliders (or press Tab to type the value manually) in the lateral and vertical spaces to set the lateral and vertical distance to search

  

• This search will be based on either the:

  • X,Y,Z axis on the grid located at the bottom of the scene (i.e., a Location Query)

    • See Steps 4-6 below

  • Distance from the selected Model (i.e., a Model Query)

    • You can also input a specific Model in the model id space to search

      • Select or input your desired Model and click the Model Query button

• For a Location Query, check the use camera position box to allow the camera position to determine the render.

  

• Check Update Automatically to auto load the Model as you move the camera.

  

  • When this setting is active, the layer will dynamically change during camera movement based on the lateral/vertical render distance

  • Drag the small blue slider (or press Tab to type the value manually) in the auto load distance space to determine render distance as you move the camera

    

Load Sets

Use the Load Sets tab on the Super Search window to filter within your existing layer.

• You can create a new layer based on your current search and apply additional filters

Note

The order of these layers will apply in how its viewed.
