&lt;p&gt;Sometimes, it becomes necessary for user to filter and display the required shapes in the model. By using &amp;lsquo;Search Parts&amp;rsquo; tool one can filter and display the elements in the model based on various parameters available in the Search Parts dialog box.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt=" " border="0" height="366" src="/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-55/6138.png" width="494" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For e.g., this wiki will show you how to filter and display the elements in the model based on their &amp;lsquo;Shape Type&amp;rsquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h1 id="mcetoc_1gklat74u1"&gt;Method&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;1.First, go to &amp;lsquo;Search Parts&amp;rsquo; tool located under utilities tab.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=" " border="0" height="125" src="/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-55/1565.2A.png" width="866" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;2. This will open the &amp;lsquo;Search Parts&amp;rsquo; dialog box. Now, for this demonstration, we will search for the flat steel shapes in the model.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=" " border="0" height="330" src="/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-55/6138.png" width="445" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;3. The first step will be to &amp;lsquo;Scan the model&amp;rsquo; before searching for any parts. Click on the &amp;lsquo;Scan model&amp;rsquo; option at the bottom to scan whole model.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=" " border="0" height="328" src="/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-55/6664655.png" width="444" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. Now, as we are going filter and display the Flat Steel in the model, then from the left index select the searching parameter as &amp;lsquo;Shape Type&amp;rsquo;. (Make sure that previous filter expressions are cleared before adding a new one)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=" " border="0" height="344" src="/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-55/160465.png" width="466" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;5. In the next step, add the type of shape in the expression. (here, select the Flat Steel). Then click on the option &amp;lsquo;Add current.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=" " border="0" height="346" src="/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-55/2262.png" width="467" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;6. Make sure that from the option at the bottom , &amp;lsquo;Hide other objects&amp;rsquo; option is selected. After this click on &amp;lsquo;OK&amp;rsquo; button.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=" " border="0" height="345" src="/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-55/61661.png" width="466" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This will filter and display all the flat steel shapes in the model. In this way, one can use different parameters to search parts in the model.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;td&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;Overview&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt=" " border="0" src="/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-55/8865.1A.png" /&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Sometimes, it becomes necessary for user to filter and display the required shapes in the model. By using &amp;lsquo;Search Parts&amp;rsquo; tool one can filter and display the elements in the model based on various parameters available in the Search Parts dialog box.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt=" " border="0" height="366" src="/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-55/6138.png" width="494" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For e.g., this wiki will show you how to filter and display the elements in the model based on their &amp;lsquo;Shape Type&amp;rsquo;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;Method&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;1.First, go to &amp;lsquo;Search Parts&amp;rsquo; tool located under utilities tab.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=" " border="0" height="125" src="/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-55/1565.2A.png" width="866" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;2. This will open the &amp;lsquo;Search Parts&amp;rsquo; dialog box. Now, for this demonstration, we will search for the flat steel shapes in the model.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=" " border="0" height="330" src="/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-55/6138.png" width="445" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;3. The first step will be to &amp;lsquo;Scan the model&amp;rsquo; before searching for any parts. Click on the &amp;lsquo;Scan model&amp;rsquo; option at the bottom to scan whole model.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=" " border="0" height="328" src="/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-55/6664655.png" width="444" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. Now, as we are going filter and display the Flat Steel in the model, then from the left index select the searching parameter as &amp;lsquo;Shape Type&amp;rsquo;. (Make sure that previous filter expressions are cleared before adding a new one)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=" " border="0" height="344" src="/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-55/160465.png" width="466" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;5. In the next step, add the type of shape in the expression. (here, select the Flat Steel). Then click on the option &amp;lsquo;Add current.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=" " border="0" height="346" src="/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-55/2262.png" width="467" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;6. Make sure that from the option at the bottom , &amp;lsquo;Hide other objects&amp;rsquo; option is selected. After this click on &amp;lsquo;OK&amp;rsquo; button.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=" " border="0" height="345" src="/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-55/61661.png" width="466" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This will filter and display all the flat steel shapes in the model. In this way, one can use different parameters to search parts in the model.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
