[edit] Using Existing Search Filters and Picklists

[edit] In Surveyor Classic

Surveyor Classic, sometimes referred to as Surveyor 1.0, is supplied in all versions of Trainz

Steps: To use existing filters and Picklists in Surveyor Classic:-

from the Surveyor Classic screen press Ctrl + Shift + F to open the Content Search Filter

Your copy of Trainz has some Content Search Filters and a Picklist supplied as "built in"

select from the following methods to search the assets:-

Content Search Filter:-

Steps:

Left Click on the Down Arrowhead icon to the right of the title Content Search Filter at the top of the window

	Notes:
	The first time you open this filter list it will only show the default (installed) Content Search Filters. If you have saved your own Content Search Filters (see Creating Search Filters) then they will also appear in the list.
	The results of content filter searches are NOT shown in this window but in the assets lists of the relevant Tool Flyouts - such as the F3 Objects flyout or the F4 Tracks flyouts. You must open a flyout to see the search results

Left Click on the the name of the filter to be used. The filter will be applied as soon as it has been selected and the relevant results will appear in the asset list of any open Tool Flyout

OR

Picklist Search:-

Steps:

Left Click on the Down Arrowhead at the end of the Pick list box

select ( Left Click ) the Change pick list > option

The menu options:-

	Sort Ascending and
	Sort Descending will sort the contents of the open picklist alphabetically
	Display thumbnail view will display the assets as thumbnails

select ( Left Click ) on the Picklist to be loaded

	Notes:
	The first time you open the Picklists it will only show a single item, the Default Picklist. If you have saved your own Picklists (see Creating Search Filters) then they will also appear in the list.
	The contents of the selected Picklist are shown in the Picklist Section of this Content Search Filter window and NOT in the Tool Flyouts

[edit] In Surveyor 2.0

Using Existing Search Filters and Picklists

	Surveyor 2.0 is available in Trainz Plus and TRS22 Platinum only
	All Content Search Filter and Picklist tasks are conducted through the Assets Palette in Surveyor 2.0
	The Content Search Filters used in Surveyor 2.0 are created using Content Manager

If the Assets Palette is not visible on the screen then refer to the Wiki Page How to Use S20 Palettes

Steps: To use existing filters and Picklists in Surveyor 2.0:-
	in the Surveyor 2.0 screen locate the Assets Palette

Left Click on the Asset Type data box (showing Ground Textures in the image) or on the double arrowhead as shown on its right to open up its lists of filters. The currently selected asset type (Ground Textures in the image), search filter or picklist will have a

in front of its name in the drop down list

The list shows all the:-

	Asset Types (e.g. Track Objects) plus All Content in the top section
	Search Filters both built in (such as the Faulty and Open for Editing filters) and any that you have created and saved in the middle section
	Picklists both built in (the Default Picklist) and any that you have created and saved in the lower section

to select and open a specific Asset Type, Search Filter or Picklist Left Click on its name.

The Asset Palette name window display will change to show those assets that match the selected Search Filter or Picklist.

For example, selecting the saved Picklist Oz Houses will list all the assets that have been added to that particular Picklist. Likewise, selecting the saved Search Filter Updates Available will display all the assets that have a positive match with the filter settings

The assets found by the Search Filter or in the Picklist can be narrowed down further by entering a text string in the Search box. For example typing house (UPPER/lower case is not important) will restrict the list to only showing those assets containing the text string "house" in their names or descriptions

The Thumbnail icon

next to the Search text box will toggle the list of assets between text and thumbnail views. The thumbnail view works best when the Assets Palette is undocked and resized. See the Wiki Page How to Use S20 Palettes for more information

[edit] In Content Manager

Using Existing Search Filters and Picklists

Content Manager is the asset management program that is supplied with all versions of Trainz

Steps: To use existing filters and Picklists in Content Manager:-

from the Trainz Launcher select Manage Content

in Content Manager open the Filter drop down box

The list shows all the:-

	Search Filters both built in (such as the Faulty and Open for Editing filters) and any that you have created and saved are in the upper section
	Picklists both built in (the Default Picklist) and any that you have created and saved are in the lower section

Notes:

The Search Filters in Content Manager do not include a separate list of Asset Types (e.g. Track Objects, Scenery Splines) like those found in the Surveyor 2.0 Assets Palette search options. However, you can perform searches of Asset Types by:-

	constructing Custom filters using the Category data field, OR
	sorting data using the Type column

to use a filter or Picklist Left Click on its name in the list.

For example:-

selecting the built-in Search Filter "Faulty" will list all installed assets that have a fault such as "missing dependencies". If no assets appear then congratulations, you have no faulty assets!

Picklists and Filters can be refined further by entering a text string in the Search box on the right of the Content Manager window. For example typing QLD (UPPER/lower case is not important) will restrict the selected Picklist or Filter to only showing those assets containing the text string "QLD" in their names
PickListSearch CM.png

selecting a Picklist will list all the installed assets that you have added to that Picklist

[edit] Creating New Search Filters and Picklists

Picklists that you create can be saved from Content Manager as text (.txt) files. They can also be loaded into Content Manager from text files.
Refer to the Wiki Page How to Backup a Picklist for the details.

[edit] In Surveyor Classic

Creating New Search Filters and Picklists

Surveyor Classic, sometimes referred to as Surveyor 1.0, is supplied in all versions of Trainz

[edit] In Surveyor 2.0

[edit] Creating New Search Filters

Surveyor 2.0 is available in Trainz Plus and TRS22 Platinum only

WARNING:

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

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

Optional Steps: Choose combinations of the following options:-

Asset Display: At the top of the Assets Palette is a Filter Option menu box. This controls how the search filters are applied to the Trainz World shown in the Surveyor Screen. It has no effect on the assets diplayed in the Assets Palette

This step is designed for use with selection tasks. It can be combined with Step

and/or Step

to narrow the selection process

The top drop down box will provide three actions:-

	Filter List
	Filter Selection
	Filter Visibility

If the Assets Palette is not visible on the screen then refer to the Wiki Page How to Use S20 Palettes

These actions can affect the display and selection of objects in the Trainz World

Asset Filter Options:

Filter List

this is the default setting and the search results of the entered filters will be shown in the Assets Palette name list below the filters.

Filter Selection

this action will restrict the Surveyor Selection tools (Eyedropper Tool, Free Move Tool, Fine Adustment Tool, Marquee Tool) to only working on those objects that are in the filtered list. Objects that are not in the filtered list will still be visible in the Trainz World but cannot be selected.

Filter Visibility

this action will hide all the objects in the Trainz World that are not in the filtered list. Objects that are hidden cannot be selected. The only exceptions are Ground Textures and Effect Layers which will be visible but, unless they are also in the filtered list, cannot be selected.

Asset Selection: The row of Asset Icons and the Drop Down Menu below it identify the type of assets that will be shown in the filter list

This step and Step

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 selecting the type of asset from the drop down list.

Options: Choose from:-

Left Click on an asset selection icon

	all ground textures
	all non-spline scenery assets
	all spline scenery assets
	all track spline assets
	all track (non spline) assets (signals, etc)
	all rolling stock assets
	all Effect Layer presets

OR

Left Click the Content Drop-down Box

Filter List
Then select the asset type you want
Scenery Objects

Text Selection: The Search text 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 filter name list

This step and Step

are suited for searching tasks

The String Search will accept 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 assets 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:-

Steps:
	Left Click the icon OR select the Scenery Objects option from the Content drop down box
	Type the text barn (UPPER/lower case is not important) in the Search text box and press the Enter key. This will list all the Scenery Objects containing the text "barn" in their name or description
	Left Click on the required item in the list (e.g. "wooden barn")

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:-
	in the Content Drop Down box select the option All Content
	enter your search text string and press the Enter key

[edit] Creating New Picklists

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

If the Assets Palette or the Info Palette is not visible on the screen then refer to the Wiki Page How to Use S20 Palettes

Steps: To create new Picklists in Surveyor 2.0:-

in the Surveyor 2.0 screen locate the Assets Palette

select an asset or object that will be added to the new (yet to be created) Picklist. You cannot create an empty Picklist

Options: Choose one of two methods:-

Using the Asset List in the Assets Palette

Steps: To create a Picklist from the Assets Palette:-

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.

Find the asset in the Asset Palette list of assets - you can use the filters to help narrow the search.

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

Select either:-

	the Scenery Objects icon (it looks like a tree) from the row of icons, OR
	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.

From the displayed list of assets:-

Right Click on the asset to be added to the Picklist, OR select multiple assets:-

To select multiple assets:-

	Shift + Left Click on the first and last in a sequence of multiple assets to be added. Then Right Click on one of the selected assets, OR
	Ctrl + Left Click on any number of individual assets to be added. Then Right Click on one of the selected assets

A popup menu will appear.

	select ( Left Click on) the option Add to Picklist > from the popout menu

	then select the option New Picklist from the next popout menu

The Thumbnail icon

next to the Search text box will toggle the list of assets between text and thumbnail views. But the thumbnail view works best when the Assets Palette is undocked and resized. See the Wiki Page How to Use S20 Palettes for more information

OR

Using an Existing Object

Steps: To create a Picklist from an existing object:-

Use this method if the object you want to add to the new Picklist is already in the route and is present in the Surveyor scene in front of you.

using either the Free Move Tool or the Fine Adjustment Tool Left Click on the object in the Trainz World to highlight it

In the Info Palette Left Click on the Down Arrowhead next to the asset name (Aussie Farm Shed 36 in the image below)

If the Info Palette is not shown on the screen then refer to the Wiki Page How to Use S20 Palettes

select the options Add to Picklist > and New Picklist... from the popout menus

An alternative method is to select an object in the Trainz World using the Free Move Tool or the Fine Adjustment Tool while holding down the Alt key. This will select the object in the Assets Palette and you can then use steps

to

in Method

above

enter a name for the new Picklist and

Left Click on:-

the OK button to accept the name and save the new Picklist. The Picklist will be created and the selected asset will be added, OR

the Cancel button to cancel the save

[edit] In Content Manager

Content Manager is the asset management program that is supplied with all versions of Trainz

[edit] Creating New Search Filters

Content Search Filters created here can be used in Surveyor 2.0 asset searches

Steps: To create filters and Picklists in Content Manager:-

from the Trainz Launcher select Manage Content

the Default preset Filter is named Installed which shows all the assets installed in your copy of Trainz. Left Click on the Filter drop down menu box.

select the Custom... option. This will load and open the preset Custom filter

FilterCreateCM06 S20.png

Each row in the filter contains two boxes
	the first box is a drop down menu that selects the data field to be searched
	the second box is either a drop down menu or a text entry box that identifies the contents that is to be found in the selected data field

edit/add/delete the filter rows and their contents as required.

For Example:

Edit Filter Rows:-

Each Data Field box has a drop down menu. Left Click on the box to open its menu and select a field to use in the filter
FilterCreateCM03 S20.png

Each Contents box has either:-

	a drop down menu. Left Click on the box to open its menu and select an option to use, OR
	a text entry box. Enter a text string to be used as the search key for that data field. The box can be left empty - in which case it will serve no purpose

Add/Delete Filter Rows:-

At the end of each Filter Row is a pair of buttons

. Left Click :-

the

button to Delete this filter row, OR

the

button to add a new filter row below this button

A sample filter created using these features could look like:-

Tips and techniques used in constructing content searches can be found at

Search Logic

Save the new Content Search Filter. Left Click on the Save button above the filter lines, then:-

	enter a name for your new filter
	and either:- Left Click on the OK button to save the filter, OR Left Click on the Cancel button to cancel the save

Search Logic

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

Multi-line filters force the search to match the assets with ALL the filter lines. For example:-

Will search all assets to locate and display only those that meet the following requirements:-

be on the Download Station AND

not already installed AND

classified as Flora AND

have Tree in their name

The logic operators AND and OR provide some decision making abilities to a search. For example:-

Will search all assets to locate and display only those that meet the following requirements:-

are installed AND

either:-

modified on the date shown OR

installed on the date shown

The logic operator AND NOT adds a different decision making ability. For example:-

Will search all assets to locate and display only those that meet the following requirements:-

are in the Picklist named Animals AND

have a build version number LESS THAN 3.5

The AND NOT reverses the result of the next filter line which, in this example, would have only shown assets with a build version of 3.5 or above.

[edit] Creating New Picklists

New Picklists are created in Content Manager by using a Content Search Filter to display the assets that you want to add to the new Picklist

Steps: To create Picklists in Content Manager:-

from the Trainz Launcher select Manage Content

select an existing Content Search Filter or Picklist or create a new one that will display at least some of the assets that you want to add to the Picklist. You can change your selected filter or Picklist at any time during the process

From the displayed list of assets:-

	Removing the last asset from a picklist will also delete the picklist
	There is no need to save your edits. The picklist will be automatically updated after each change

Known Issues:
A bug has been identified that will allow multiple copies of the same asset to be added to a Picklist but it will appear in the list only once. In this situation each instance of the asset must be removed separately - i.e. if the asset has been added 3 times then it must be removed 3 times for it to be completely removed from the Picklist
