    Section Description
    Product Build-Up

    Display additional Products (for Product BuildUp options)

    		 For product buildup, you can specify the colors differentiating assembled and disassembled parts. You can also use color to differentiate between parts used in previous systems and those used now.
    Product Build-Up

    Display capable resources (for Product BuildUp options).

    		 For product buildup, the capable resources are the resources that associate to the operations by the Manage Capable Resources Links command in Process Planning app. Capable Resources can be of two types – Those that are in the Resource tree (Resources in Context) and those which are not in the Resource tree (Reference Resources).

    This does not display the Capable Resources References. For now, it considers Additional Products treats as Additional Processes. They are not selectable and hence you cannot add dress-up.

    Similarly, you are unable to select (hence add dress-up) on Capable Resources in Context if they are outside the scope of the active System

  8. Specify these options according to your needs.
