Tourguide or walktrough animation

[Philippe Hurbain]

this is probably the most rookie question ever, but i have been trying to figure this out for a long time and just have to ask...
"how do you do an inventory search?"  I see the little man with magnifying glass, but clicking on him just open a subcategory that has no parts in it!    i can also use the filter feature to narrow down to a certain part but i have to have the right subcategory open first.

That's precisely the purpose of minifig with magnifying glass bin: search regardless of category. But you have to enter some filter text to see parts appear...
Otherwise, you can have a look at my roller coaster test (post 3 of this thread) for a usage example that works in 3D and not only at ground level.
