Using the 3D View in Planning Structure

You can use the 3D View panel to visualize the 3D representation, FTA annotations, and product build-up of a selected item, product, system, operation, or resource.

The following scenario illustrates how to use the 3D View panel on a selected manufacturing assembly. The same procedure can be used for a product, system, operation, or resource.

  1. Select a manufacturing assembly in the tree.
  2. From the Authoring section of the action bar, click 3D View .
  3. To show the 3D View List panel, from the 3D View panel, select List Shown .
    The manufacturing assembly is displayed in the 3D View panel according to design colors. This is the default option.

    The 3D View List panel lists the products implemented by the selected manufacturing assembly. The colored square next to the product indicates the build-up category.

  4. To manage the display of the implemented products, select General Options in the 3D View panel.
  5. To apply the build-up colors of the manufacturing assembly in the 3D viewer, select Show Build-Up Colors ON .

    Notes:
    • To manage the displayed build-up categories, select Display Options in the 3D View panel.
    • You can click Product Build-Up options at the right edge of the work area to display the Product Build-Up options panel.
