Product Build-Up Options Panel

The Product Build-Up Options panel lets you define the transparency and the color of objects that are part of the product build-up.

To open the panel, click Product Build-Up Options at the right edge of the work area.

Important: If theProduct Build-Up Options icon is not displayed, you need to open the 3D View panel first. For more information, see Common Services for Process Engineering Apps: Native Apps: 3D View.

Object Selection and Lock Status

Activate List Panel
Opens the 3DView List panel. When clicked, the icon changes to .
To close the 3DView List panel, click or the cross in the upper-right corner of the panel.
For more information on the 3DView List panel, see Common Services for Process Engineering Apps: Native Apps: 3D View: Displaying Objects.
Note: This functionality is unavailable in Work Instructions.
Restore Nominal State
Restores the selected object to its state before the build-up. This includes:
  • Graphical properties: colors and display options.
  • Position:
    • For products, the design position
    • For resources, the position you defined before executing the build-up
Note: If the Lock Product Build-Up option is set to ON , the Restore Nominal State option is disabled.
Lock Product Build-Up
ON : Locks the status and the name of the selection. The name of the selection appears on the left-hand side of the Product Build-Up Options panel.
OFF : Updates the Product Build-Up Options panel with the status and the name of the current selection.

Display

This section provides options that control the resources and parts color display.

Show Build-Up Color
ON : Displays parts according to the defined build-up colors.
OFF : Displays parts according to the design colors.
Resources Display
Show All Resources : Displays all the resources.
Show Only Assigned Resources : Displays the resources assigned to the selection.
Hide All Resources : No resources are displayed.
Show FT&A
ON : FTA requirements defined on operations are displayed in the Assignment Manager and 3D View panels.
OFF : FTA requirements defined on operations are not displayed.

By default, This option is selected.

Note: When resources display is enabled, product build-up manages positions defined on selected processes or operations. However, this option is not taken into account when using the Define Position and Copy Position capabilities. In these cases, resources implementing the selection display in color and other resources display in a ghost mode (black transparency).

Behavior

In this section, you can edit the display of tracks, previously added parts and worker walkway information.

Apply Track
ON : All tracks defined on operations are applied.
OFF : All tracks defined on operations are displayed but not applied.
Restrict to Product Flow
ON : Previously added parts are displayed based on defined product flow between systems.
OFF : Previously added parts based on defined product flow between systems are not displayed.

Advanced Options

This section provides commands to define reframe, highlight, and simulation step options.

Reframe on Added Parts
ON : Reframe options are not activated.
OFF : Added parts are not reframed in the work area.
Center Tree on Operation
ON : Centers the tree on the current selection.
OFF : The current selection is not centered on the tree.
Highlight with Glow
ON : The selected object is highlighted with glow.
OFF : The selected object is highlighted without any glow.
Simulation Step
Next/Previous Step: Operation : Runs the simulation operation by operation.
Next/Previous Step: System : Runs the simulation system by system.
Reset Product Data
ON : Resets the product data.
OFF : Allows the modifications of the product data.
Reset Review Data
ON : Resets the review data. The markers are no longer displayed.
OFF : Displays the markers.

Color and Transparency Options

You can define the color and transparency of the build-up categories of operations, systems, or manufactured items. The build-up categories displayed vary according to the selected object.

Each option has:

  • A Show or Hide command to show or hide the corresponding operation/system.
  • A check box to switch between the design color and build-up color.
  • A slider to manage the transparency value:
    • Whenever the opacity value is set to 0%, the corresponding geometry is not displayed.
    • Whenever the opacity value is set to 100%, the corresponding geometry is displayed fully opaque, regardless of the opacity value specified on the part.
    • When the value is in between, the opacity is combined with the value specified directly on the part itself.
  • A color command that runs a color palette to manage the color of the corresponding geometry.

Current
Displays objects according to the current selection.
Note: Also applicable for products or resources.

By default, Color and transparency values are activated, yellow and 100% opacity.

Previous in System
Displays all previous operations or systems in the working context.

By default, Color and transparency values are activated, blue and 100% opacity.

Previous
Displays all previous implementing objects from previous systems.

By default, Color and transparency values are activated, blue and 100% opacity.

Parallel
Displays all objects in parallel.

By default, Color and transparency values are deactivated, orange and 75% opacity.

Mfg Context
Displays the selected object in context.
  • When you select a product or resource, the context represents all other parts of the entire product or resource structure.
  • When you select an operation or system, the context represents all products loaded in session that are not implemented by any operation.

By default, Color and transparency values are deactivated, white and 75% opacity.

Missing
Displays all manufactured items that were not loaded before the current selection.

By default, Color and transparency values are activated, red and 100% opacity.

Assigned
Displays manufactured items implemented by operations.

By default, Color and transparency values are activated, light blue and 100% opacity.

Assignable
Displays manufactured items that are not implemented by any operation.

By default, Color and transparency values are activated, orange and 100% opacity.

Siblings
Displays manufactured items sharing the same father manufactured item.

By default, Color and transparency values are activated, orange and 75% opacity.
