Inserting a Product in the Experience

Insert Existing Environment lets you insert a physical product in the experience. This creates its associated product actor.

The links between the product actor and the physical product are preserved.

Before you begin: Before inserting a product containing a kinematics animation or a PLM ambiance in your experience, open it in a separate tab using the Advanced Open option. In the Open Advanced dialog box, make sure that you select With expanded children for references, and With all representations for representations. If you fail to do so, kinematics animations will not be listed in the Project panel, and you will not be able to use them in your presentation.
  1. In the Search box , enter search criteria to find physical products and press Enter.
  2. In the Search panel, select the physical product of your choice.
    The physical product is inserted in the experience, and the product actor is created.

You can now start creating variants of the product.

Tip: When you insert a product that contains human actors, the humans are inserted in the presentation along with the product, and you can work with them. This is also true if an inserted product contains subproducts that themselves contain human actors.
