Search Filters created here in Surveyor 2.0 CANNOT be saved as separate filters.

Use Content Manager to save Search Filters in Surveyor 2.0 - see PageLink.PNG In Content Manager below for the details


PalettesIcon S20.png The Filter Palette and the Assets Palette must be visible on the screen. If they are not then open the SurveyorWindowIcon.png Window Menu at the top of the screen or refer to the Trainz Wiki Page WikiLink.PNG How to Use S20 Palettes


 Choose any combinations of the following 3 steps 
Optional Step: DotPoint1Blue.png
   Filter Actions:  At the top of the Filter Palette is a Filter Action drop-down menu that controls how the search filters are applied to your visible Trainz World
This step is designed for use with selection tasks. It can be combined with Step DotPoint2Blue.png and/or Step DotPoint3Blue.png below to narrow the selection process
The Filter Actions drop down list controls how the filters are applied. To open the list  Left Click  on the drop down box or on the double arrows on its right.
FilterPaletteOpenActions S20.png The top drop down box will provide four actions:-
BulletTick.png Filter Disabled
BulletTick.png Filter List
BulletTick.png Filter Selection
BulletTick.png Filter Visibility


FilterPaletteActions S20.png


These actions will affect the display and selection of objects in your Trainz World
Filter Actions:
 Filter Disabled  this action is used in the Bulk Replace Filtered Assets feature. It disables the Filter Palette so that it has no effect on the assets listed by the Assets Palette during the selection of a replacement asset.
 Filter List  this action is the default setting for the Filter Palette. It has no effect on the operation of the tools in the Tool Palette or on the objects displayed on the screen in your Trainz World. The filtered list of assets shown in the Filter Toggles and in the Assets Palette will be the result of the search performed by the Filter Selections and other settings.
 Filter Selection  this action will restrict the selected tool (e.g. the Placement Tool or the Free Move Tool) to only working on those objects that are in the filtered list shown in the Assets Palette. Objects that are not in the filtered list will still be visible in your Trainz World but they cannot be selected.
 Filter Visibility  this action will hide all objects in your Trainz World that are not in the filtered list. The only exceptions are Ground Textures and Effect Layers which will be visible but, unless they are also in the filtered list, they cannot be selected.


Optional Step: DotPoint2Blue.png
   Filter Selection:  In the Filter Palette the row of Asset Icons and the Drop Down Menu below them identify the type of assets that will be shown in the filtered list
 This step and Step DotPoint3Blue.png are suited for searching tasks 


This option can be selected by a  Left Click  on a icon that represents the different types of assets or by selecting the type of asset from the drop down list.
Options: Choose from:-

Ablue.png  Left Click  on an asset selection icon
Filter Icons
GroundTextureFilter S20.png all ground textures
SceneryMeshFilter S20.png all non-spline scenery assets
ScenerySplineFilter S20.png all spline scenery assets
TrackSplineFilter S20.png all track spline assets
TrackMeshFilter S20.png all track (non spline) assets (signals, etc)
TrainFilter S20.png all rolling stock assets
PresetFilter S20.png all Effect Layer presets
OR
Bblue.png Left Click the Content Drop-down Box

Filter List
Then select the asset type you want
Scenery Objects


Optional Step: DotPoint3Blue.png
   Text Selection:  In the Assets Palette the Search box allows you to enter a string of text characters that will be used to search the asset names and their descriptions for a match. Those assets that return a positive match, together with a positive asset type, if one has been set, will be shown in the filtered list
 This step and Step DotPoint2Blue.png are suited for searching tasks 


AssetsPaletteSearchBox S20.png
PencilTips.PNG The Search box will accept a <kuid> code or a list of <kuid> codes seperated by commas. This list can be created by Content Manager by selecting the assets followed by the List Assets in New Window option. Copy the asset <kuid> list into your clipboard and paste it into the Assets Palette search box


For Example: To search for all Scenery Objects that have the text string "barn" in their name or description:-

Filtered list
Steps:
DotPoint1.JPG In the Filter Palette  Left Click  the SceneryMeshFilter S20.png icon OR select the  Scenery Objects  option from the  Content  drop down box
DotPoint2.JPG In the Assets Palette  Search  box type the text barn (UPPER/lower case is not important) and press the  Enter  key
This will list all the Scenery Objects containing the text "barn" in their name or description
DotPoint3.JPG  Left Click  on the required item in the list (e.g. "Dairy Barn")


PencilTips.PNG You can enter a search text string without selecting an asset type. The filter will search through all assets types to find matches with your entered search string.

Steps: To search all content:-
DotPoint1.JPG in the Filter Palette Content Drop Down box select the option  All Content 
DotPoint2.JPG in the Assets Palette  Search  box enter your search text and press the  Enter  key



[edit] Creating New Picklists

Skip Down Skip Up        
BlueDot10x10.png New Picklists are created in Surveyor 2.0 by selecting an asset in the Assets Palette or by selecting an existing object in the route and using the Info Palette


PalettesIcon S20.png The Filter Palette, Assets Palette and Info Palette must be visible on the screen. If they are not then open the SurveyorWindowIcon.png Window Menu at the top of the screen or refer to the Trainz Wiki Page WikiLink.PNG How to Use S20 Palettes


Steps: To create new Picklists in Surveyor 2.0:-
DotPoint1.JPG using the Filter Palette and the Assets Palette locate and select an asset that will be added to the new (yet to be created) Picklist. You cannot create an empty Picklist
Options: Choose one of two methods:-
Ablue.png Using the Filter Palette and Assets Palette
Steps: To create a Picklist from the Assets Palette:-
NotePad.PNG Use this method if the object you want to add to the new Picklist is not already in the route or is not present in the Surveyor scene in front of you.
DotPoint1Blue.png Using both the Filter Palette and the Assets Palette locate the asset in the list of assets - you can use additional filters to help narrow the search.

For example to locate a scenery asset named Dairy Barn:-

Select either:-
DotPointBlueSquare.png the Scenery Objects icon (it looks like a tree) from the row of icons, OR
DotPointBlueSquare.png from the drop down list below the row of icons, select the option  Scenery Objects 

... and type the text barn (UPPER/lower case is not important) into the search text entry box. This will filter all the assets to only show those that are Scenery (non-spline) Objects and have the text "barn" in their names or descriptions.

NotePad.PNG Notes:

DotPoint.JPG the text strings dairy and dairy barn would also work but if you are not 100% confident of its actual name then a more general text entry would be a better option
DotPoint.JPG if you have identified the asset or multiple assets in Content Manager then their <kuid> codes can be copied into the search box but you can add assets to a new Picklist directly from Content Manager - see PageLink.PNG Creating a New Picklist in Content Manager
FilterSelectDairyBarn S20.png
DotPoint2Blue.png From the displayed list of assets:-
DotPointBlueSquare.png  Right Click  on the asset to be added to the Picklist, OR
DotPointBlueSquare.png To select multiple assets:-

PencilTips.PNG Search Logic

There are some techniques and "know-how" that can improve the usefulness of your searches:-

DotPoint1Blue.png Multi-line filters force the search to match the assets with ALL the filter lines. For example:-
SearchLogic01 CM.png Will search all assets to locate and display only those that meet the following requirements:-
BlueDot10x10.png be on the Download Station AND
BlueDot10x10.png not already installed AND
BlueDot10x10.png classified as Flora AND
BlueDot10x10.png have Tree in their name
DotPoint2Blue.png The logic operators AND and OR provide some decision making abilities to a search. For example:-
SearchLogic02 CM.png Will search all assets to locate and display only those that meet the following requirements:-
BlueDot10x10.png are installed AND
BlueDot10x10.png either:-
BlueDot10x10.png modified on the date shown OR
BlueDot10x10.png installed on the date shown
DotPoint3Blue.png The logic operator AND NOT adds a different decision making ability. For example:-
SearchLogic03 CM.png Will search all assets to locate and display only those that meet the following requirements:-
BlueDot10x10.png assets are in the Picklist named Animals AND

The AND NOT reverses the result of the next filter line, which, by itself would only include

BlueDot10x10.png assets with a build version number of 3.5 or greater
The result of filter DotPoint3Blue.png is that only assets that are in the Picklist "Animals" and have a build version BELOW 3.5 would be shown. Without the AND NOT filter line the result would be that only assets that are in the Picklist "Animals" and have a build version 3.5 AND ABOVE would be shown.
