When you add an animation set based on a search set, the contents of the
animation set is updated each time the model changes to include everything
in the search set.
NOTE Any changes to search/selection sets during the animation playback are
ignored.
If the model changes so that objects in a particular animation are missing,
they are automatically removed from the animation set when the
corresponding NWD or NWF file is resaved.
Finally, if the selection or search sets are deleted rather than being lost, the
corresponding animation set becomes a static selection of objects based on
what it last contained.
