About the sBOM Tree
In Creo Illustrate, use the structure tree to display a hierarchical view of all components in the sBOM or eBOM. (The eBOM Tree is only visible in Edit Structure mode.)
The illustration structure is at the top of the sBOM Tree, and its sub-assemblies, parts, instances and features are below it. Use this view to show all objects in the imported MCAD structure, any added sBOM items, and to load or unload objects (such as parts and assemblies) in illustration figures.
When you click the sBOM Tree (in the primary panel Viewables pane), the sBOM tab on the ribbon is activated. In Edit Structure mode, when you click the eBOM Tree (in the upper data panel Viewables pane), the eBOM tab on the ribbon is activated.
Objects are represented in the eBOM Tree with these glyphs:
• 
— Part not added to sBOM
• 
— Parent not added to sBOM
• 
— Part added to sBOM
• 
— Parent added to sBOM
• 
— Schematic source
• 
— Schematic sheet not added to sBOM
• 
— Schematic sheet added to sBOM
Objects are represented in the sBOM Tree with these glyphs:
• 
— Part with geometry (loaded)
• — Parent without geometry (loaded)
• 
— Parent with geometry
• 
— Combined Part
• 
— Combined Parent
• — Parent with all children combined
• — Combined parent with all children combined
• — Parent with some children combined
• 
— Combined parent with some children combined
Schematic objects are represented in the sBOM Tree with these glyphs:
• 
— Matched part
• 
— Matched parent
• 
— Schematic component
• 
— Schematic component fragment
• 
— Matched schematic component fragment
When there is a problem with an item, these symbols may appear next to the item’s icon:
• 
—Restricted viewing rights for the geometry associated with the assembly or part. The user has rejected the copyright message for that geometry so you cannot view the geometry.
• 
—Geometry associated with the assembly or part cannot be found (broken link OL file not found).
Large sBOM Trees can be cumbersome and you might find the node names meaningless. To improve performance and make it easier to relate to the display, you can perform the following actions:
