When LIVEsearch is activated, the model is scanned on the fly in the background during the modeling of an individual part and geometrically similar parts are filtered from the set search area and displayed in the LIVEsearch pop-up window[24]
In this way the modeler gets information on already available parts for a possible reuse or on adequate supplier parts.
