Windchill Visualization Service Properties
 
Windchill uses standard Java property files to dynamically configure many optional or site-dependent settings. The primary property file, wvs.properties.xconf, is located in the Windchill codebase directory, where it is available for downloading into clients. It contains properties that affect both client and server Java classes.
You can edit these files by using the xconfmanager utility, which enables you to add properties and values, delete properties, and save your changes to the properties files, for implementation when you restart the Windchill system.
For more information, see About the xconfmanager Utility.
Windchill Visualization Service (WVS) uses the properties described in the following table.
They are set in the wvs.properties.xconf file. The table is arranged alphabetically by property name.
* 
Beginning at Windchill 10.2, PTC has changed the location of the wvs.properties and wvs.properties.xconf files. These files have been moved from the <Windchill>/codebase directory to the <Windchill>/codebase/WEB-INF/conf directory. Be sure to make any necessary changes to your code to reflect this location change.

They do not impact the actual end result; that is, the dynamic structure is the same regardless of what the property is set to.
Description: These properties specify whether to exclude representations of assembly parts or CAD Documents that have additive assembly features (such as welds and pipes) from the dynamic CAD part structure.
The property defaults to True if it is absent.
* 
This property’s performance gain is only realized for representations published with a Creo View adapter that injects data into the PVS file to indicate whether there are assembly features. Currently, the only adapter that supports this is the Creo Parametric adapter, beginning at Creo View 3.0 M020.
edrload.dynamicpartstructure.loadparentforunplacedchildren
Default Value: True
Synopsis: If an assembly contains ONLY unplaced components it is treated as a leaf node and the representation is loaded from it.
Description: If the preference, Show Unplaced Components in Dynamic Part Structures is disabled, and ALL children are unplaced, this property determines the behavior.
When this property is set to True, the default representation of the parent containing only unplaced components, is loaded instead of it’s children.
When this property is set to False, no geometry is loaded for the assembly structure because the children are all unplaced and set not to show in the visualization tab.

edrload.dynamiccadstructure.removeappearanceoverrides
Default Value: True
Synopsis: Specifies whether to remove appearance overrides in the dynamic part or cad structure.
Description: These properties specify whether to remove appearance overrides in the dynamic part or cad structure — for example, assembly colors is not used.
The property defaults to True if it is absent.
edrload.dynamicpartstructure.versionmismatch
Default Value: WTPart
Synopsis: Specifies what version mismatch warnings are displayed when opening Creo View.

If admin, only administrators (system, project, or product administrators) can delete representations from the user interface.
webpage.allowdeleterepresentation.filtermethod
Default Value: N/A
Synopsis: Defines the filter method to be invoked when performing a UI delete of a representation. This method is invoked to allow or disallow deletion of the object.
Description: The property value for the filter method is specified in the form classname/methodname with the following signature:
public static Boolean methodname(Persistable d, Representation rep)
where d is the object the Representation is associated to (i.e., the Representable).
A return of Boolean.TRUE indicates that the representation can be deleted from the UI; a return of Boolean.FALSE indicates that it cannot be deleted.

webpage.allowpublish.wtpartalternaterep
Default Value: True
Synopsis: Allows publishing from the user interface by object type.
Description: Provides the ability for a user to publish from the create default representation button and the New Representation on a type basis. The value can be set for each of the commands separately, for example, webpage.allowpublish.epmdocument=true/false allows publishing an epmdocument document from create default representation, but not from New Representation.
If a single value is entered, it applies to both publish options. One of the three following values can be set:
• True—enables all users to publish the specified type.
• False—no users can publish the type.
• Admin—only administrators (system, project, or product administrators) can publish.
These settings affect only the UI, and not the ability to publish via listener (such as checkin) or a schedule job; but being in the prohibition list prohibits such actions.
* 
A Design Context is an EPMDocument, and so if publishing is not allowed for an EPMDocument, it is also prohibited for a Design Context.

webpage.thumbnailnavigator.navigabletypes
Default Value: PART PARTALTERNATEREP
Synopsis: Specifies whether data should or should not be navigable when a 3D view is shown in the Thumbnail Navigator. When set to True, the data is navigable; when set to False, the data is not.
Description:Navigable in this sense it means that the scene is formed from the thumbnail of the dependents, and a mouse over of those dependents highlights the graphics and the child in the “Uses” section. For non-navigable types, the 3D scene is formed from the thumbnail of the assembly, and there is no highlighting.  For example, for a WTPart structure, if it is navigable, the child thumbnail will be shown; if it is not navigable, the parent's thumbnail will be shown. If the parent does not have a representation, there are no graphics. For WTPartAlternateRep (Design Context) the above applies, but depending on the rules used, the child thumbnails may appear differently from the way that the WTPartAlternateRep actually looks. If the latter is a concern, the value should be set to False.
