Documents and Visualization

How can I visualize technical objects?

You can use the SAP 3D Visual Enterprise Viewer to display a 2D image or a 3D scene of a technical object. If you have activated the business function EAM, Integration with SAP 3D Visual Enterprise (LOG_EAM_VE_INT) and an appropriate document has been assigned, the system displays the Display Spare Parts pushbutton. In the visualized model you can, for example, pull the technical object apart, rotate it, display a detailed view or a cross-section, as well as display associated parts lists.

For more information, see Visualization of Technical Objects in the Master Data.

Side Panels

How can I display additional information in side panels?

You can use side panels to display additional, context-sensitive information about technical objects in a separate screen area. In the side panel screen area, you can choose from several CHIPs (Collaborative Human Interface Parts) that are provided by SAP. Different preconfigured side panels with CHIPs are available for technical objects.
