Setting assembly level of detail

You can configure the assembly level of detail in Teamcenter's embedded viewer, focusing on how JT files and reference sets influence the display. You can display a part or assembly in the embedded viewer by selecting the corresponding line in the assembly tree and clicking the Graphics tab. If a JT file is associated with the line (that is, if the item revision corresponding to the line has a DirectModel dataset containing a JT file) Teamcenter displays the JT file in the viewer. Any descendents of that line with attached JT files are displayed likewise. By defining a naming convention for reference sets and JT files, you control the behavior of assemblies in the viewer. You specify the naming convention by setting the JT_File_OverrideChildren_Refsets preference. The default setting of this preference is unset, but you can set it to any NX reference set names, for example, SIMPLE or FULL. If you click on a structure line, Teamcenter displays the corresponding JT file. If there is no JT file, the viewer shows all of its immediate children. Teamcenter repeats this process recursively down each branch of the product structure until it finds and displays a JT file. However, if the JT file is in the preference list, none of its children are displayed. If you do not set the JT_File_OverrideChildren_Refsets preference, Teamcenter continues processing and displaying the children.
