Present child options
You must present options of a child module in the parent so they appear as a public option of the module. For example, in the refrigerator freezer example, the Application option of the Door Assembly module is presented to the parent refrigerator freezer module. There are two occurrences of the Door Assembly module, which have their paths labeled in the Occurrence Name structure line property as Top and Bottom. Each path in the Door Assembly module is presented separately, allowing you to configure each occurrence differently. You cannot set a default value for the presenting option. Any default is inherited from the master, that is, the lowest level module from which the option is presented. If you change the default on the master, Teamcenter propagates the change to all the levels to which the option is presented. To present a child option:
Procedure In the product structure, select the parent module to which you want to present the child option and click the Create Presented Option button.

In the Select paths list, select the path to present from (or paths if there are many occurrences). By default, the Select none check box is checked and you should clear this if appropriate. When you have made the appropriate selections, as shown in the previous figure, click OK. Teamcenter displays the result in the data pane, as shown in the following figure.
