9. CAD Similary Search using HOOPS EMBEDDINGS
###############################################

The notebook ``5b_cad_search_using_HOOPS_embeddings.ipynb`` demonstrates how to embed CAD files, index them for similarity search, and retrieve similar parts using the HOOPS AI embeddings infrastructure.

Activate ``hoops_ai_cpu`` (see :doc:`/getting_started/evaluate`) so that all inference dependencies are available.

The code and resources for this tutorial can be found in the `HOOPS-AI-Tutorials <https://github.com/techsoft3d/HOOPS-AI-tutorials/tree/main>`__ Github repository.

.. hint::
   Use ``jupyter lab notebooks/5b_cad_search_using_HOOPS_embeddings.ipynb`` to interact with the inference pipeline.
