You can find spaces containing a given object and as per the required criteria.


Before you begin: Create spaces in the Space Allocation app.
  1. From the Filter section of the action bar, click Containing Spaces .
  2. Select a 3D part.
  3. From the Criteria list, select one of the following options:
    • Fully in: Finds the spaces that contain a given object.
    • Partly in: Finds the spaces that contain a given object and the object available on its boundary.
