The queries in Space Management are related to volumes, objects, and geometry
Volume queries
You can query on compartments, space volumes, and blocks in the model. This type of query is useful, for example, if you want to identify any combination of compartments, space volumes, and blocks that are on or cross a deck or plane.
The following table shows a volume query to identify all compartments that cross a plate:

Object queries
These queries allow you to find objects that are fully and partially within a spatial volume.
The following table shows an object query to identify all objects completely within a spatial volume:

Geometry queries
Examples of geometry queries include: finding bounded plates, creating a collection of the faces of a compartment, computing the area and properties of a plane intersecting a compartment, computing the overlap and adjacency between two compartments, and finding the range of a compartment.
An added benefit of the geometry queries is that you can save a .sat or .iges file of the query results.
The following table shows a geometry query to find topological boundaries (bounded plates).

The following table shows a geometry query to find the overlap geometry between adjacent volumes:

Custom query
Runs customized queries on spatial volumes, objects, and geometry. The Query Service (Custom Query) ribbon displays options for running customized queries.
