Public Model Search Powered by AI Visual Recognition
Description
Finding a model in Onshape's public library used to mean guessing how someone else named their document. Now you can search by how a model looks.
Descriptive search uses AI-generated visual descriptions of public Onshape models, so your search matches geometry instead of filenames. This video walks through enabling it, how the search icon changes once it's active, and shows some example queries and their results.
Descriptive search is an Onshape Labs feature and currently applies only to public documents.
