Topology variables can be displayed alongside the standard table information. Use the Topology variables checkbox to activate / deactivate the display as required. Characteristic values are not necessarily displayed in the characteristic attribute table, especially for own parts catalogs. The display is particularly useful here.[49]
The prerequisite is that the desired topological columns have been defined in the settings dialog. To do this, open the settings dialog by clicking on Table settings
and activate the checkbox under Show topology values [Show topological values]. You can then activate/deactivate the desired topology types.
![Settings: Display topology values [Show topological values]](https://webapi.partcommunity.com/service/help/latest/pages/cn/3dfindit/doc/resources/img/img_105f621ec046466eac5c4e2ef8a9153a.png)
[49] The topological values are not regenerated. The existing ones are displayed. This may not be the case for all rows in standard catalogs, but is usually the case for all rows in own parts catalogs.
The topological values are always displayed in the topology information [Topology information] docking window (see Section 1.4.9, “Docking window "Topology information " ”).
