Windchill introduced new functionality for massive structure visualization. It loads QuickView thumbnails for sub-assemblies and provides a mechanism to expand or collapse them with QuickView thumbnails. The Creo View Adapter worker publishing and the thumbnail generation are improved to generate QuickView thumbnails using PVSOptimize as requested by the Windchill Publisher. The Creo View Adapter also provides a recipe option to refer to a custom recipe file for QuickView thumbnail generation.

This enables digital thread for 3D content and allows visualization of design data with massive structure throughout Product Lifecycle using Windchill and ThingWorx Navigate Visualization.

For more information about configuring the QuickView thumbnail recipe option, see Setting Options on the System Subtab.
