Product Visualization

The Product Visualization options let you customize the 3D display for Product Structure Design.

This page discusses:

Expand mode after open

Select this option to expand the root node of an inserted product. The first level of the added structure is expanded when adding a product.

Automatically expand the root node on Open
Expands the root node when opening a product. This option does not impact the nodes of the current products in session.
Note: This preference does not impact the loading of the structure in session.

By default, this option is selected.

Reframe mode after insert

Select an option to customize the display focus after inserting an object in the structure.

No reframe
Keeps the current display when you insert a new element in the product.
Reframe on last inserted object
Enables you to zoom on the last inserted object when you insert a new element in the product.
Global reframe
Adjusts the reframe on the whole geometry and see all the elements when you insert a new element in the product.

By default, this option is selected.

Performance optimization

Select the required option:

Do not expand structure when loading data in Insert commands
Enables you to insert the product without expanding nodes from the database.

By default, this option is cleared.

Do not expand structure when loading data in Replace commands
Enables you to insert a product without loading its children.

When this option is selected, if you perform a replace operation and select a replacing representation from the Search panel, a dialog box appears and displays the following option: Do not expand structure if opened from a persistent storage. Check this second option to confirm you want to replace with this representation only, without its children.

Note: This option does not work if the replacing representation is already fully loaded (with children) in session.

By default, this option is cleared.

Do not load from database when data found in session in Drag and Drop
Check this option to load objects from this session and not from the database. For example, if the structure in the database has been modified to add new children, the object will not load the new children.

By default, this option is cleared.

Creation of Customized Type

Creation of Customized Type by default
Check this option to create by default a customized type product that will be applied at creation.

Then enter a name for the following objects:

  • Customized product
  • Customized part
