5. In the Add search limit dialog, select the Search Limit Type:
   • Completely Inside - only slip surfaces which are completely INSIDE the search limit volume will be analyzed

   • Intersects - only slip surfaces which intersect the search limit volume will be analyzed
6. Select OK to add the search limit volume to the model.

Display of search limit Volumes

Search limit volumes are displayed as 3D boxes using the selected colour in the Add search limit dialog. The default colours depend on the search limit Type:

• Completely Inside = green
• Completely Outside = red
• Intersects = grey

The colours of search limit volumes can be customized by the user.
