Click the Create 3D Product Views button on the viewer toolbar. Teamcenter displays the Product View Gallery dialog box containing thumbnails of available product views of the selected structure. Only product datasets associated with the currently selected end item are visible.

Right-click below the image area in the Product View Gallery dialog box and select the configuration that you want to use for the product view.
