Structure Processing of an Installed Base
Use
You can use the structure processing functions to extend or change an existing structure as you require by moving or copying individual components or complete structure branches.
In the version without tree control, you select the components that you want to process in table control.
In the version with tree control, you select the components that you want to process in tree control by clicking once.
If you have selected a tree control and a table control component, the system prefers the component you have selected in table control when cutting, copying, and dismantling the component.

If you do not want to delete the components but just temporarily remove them from the installed base structure, use the function Component dismantling. In this way, the components of the installed base remain assigned, but are located directly under the header data of the installed base instead of in the structure.
Activities
You select a component and choose one of the structure processing functions. The functions then affect both the components as well as all subordinate components.
