    Hi Lawrence,

    Even in current cellview , using dbGetTrueOverlap(cv cv~>bBox mylayer 0 nil)  it will take long time.

    In my case , the cv has 13651864 shapes on mylayer.

    In hierarchy , I can know how the depth for the cellview.  Even is has 5 level , the problem will be same as current cellview

    if has 13651864 shapes on mylayer . What i do is to tranform the shapes to the top level.

    Do you have better solution for this ?

    Thank you,

    Charley
