Expand partially loaded structures

When Teamcenter displays a BOM or manufacturing view containing the results of a search, the siblings of the node you searched for are hidden so the search results are displayed quickly. Each hidden node is represented by a … symbol enclosed in a box. The ancestors of the found node are loaded and visible.

The following figure shows how a partly loaded structure displays in the engineering BOM. In this example, three nodes are hidden and these nodes are siblings of the stud-031–18x075/A node found by the search.
