Visualizing Manufacturing Resources
You can use the Manufacturing Resource Browser to perform many advanced manufacturing tasks on your resources, such as:
• Defining a plant or workstation layout by instantiating manufacturing resources within it and positioning them in 3d using Creo View
• Viewing a plant or workstation layout in 3D using the Visualization tab.
• Viewing the process plan in the context of a Plant structure. A Process plan can be opened in its related plant to visualize and validate the flow of the operations within the Plan. With this you can:
◦ Open the operation in CreoView and validate its feasibility in a workstation.
◦ Using 3D position the parts allocated to an operation within the context of the workstation to which it has been localized.
◦ Using Playback mode visualize the flow of the assembly process on the shop floor.
• Using the Playback Actions feature, view the parts and resources that are used in operations and sequences in the context of a manufacturing plant. As your product moves through the manufacturing process, each step is displayed in a visual representation of the work center where that operation is performed.
• Visualize by color, the parts that are part of the related assembly that has been allocated to the process plan.
To visualize resources:
1. Select the resource in the tree picker.
2. Open the context menu of the resource and select from one of the following visualization options:
◦ Select in Visualization
◦ Hide in Visualization
◦ Show in Visualization
◦ Isolate in Visualization

To automatically load a resource structure in the visualization tab each time it is opened, use the Preference Management utility to change the preference: Load The Structure in Visualization Tab On Demand.
