Post Published PVZ object won't display components that were visible in source representation

Our Windchill system creates a Default rep, a Post Publish rep, and a PVZ Publication Graphic using a PostPublish Delegate. But there are several parts in the resulting PVZ Publication Graphic that will not display, although they show up in both the Default and Post Publish rep of the source assembly.

The problem components do happen to be models that were imported into Creo Parametric, but I would expect the same behavior for all outputs, not just the Publication Graphic.


Everything was created at the same time and viewed in Creo View with the same settings, so I can’t figure out why there would be any difference in that one PVZ versus the other two.

In an investigation with PTC we found that the PVS structure file for the post published graphic listed the components but did not have references to the shape files (.ol) for the components. (missing <shape_source file_name=”comp_123.ol”….etc)
Those models were surfaces only and only models with solid geometry were being included.This was due to viewable compression being true and the OOTB recipe.
 

Resolution is to change: 

<wt_home>\wvs\recipe\pvschange_for_illustration.rcp
