Is it possible to extract part structure from a pvz file?

We have a requirement to extract the part structure from a PVZ file. While we are currently able to display it using the ThingView widget, the goal is to extract the part structure from the PVZ file and present it in a tree grid.

Additionally, upon selecting a part in the grid, the corresponding part should be highlighted in the 3D view.

 

I would like to understand:

  • Is this functionality achievable in ThingWorx?
  • Is there a way to read the PVZ file and extract its structure?
  • Can this be accomplished using any existing extensions or OOTB (Out-Of-The-Box) functions, or will we need to develop custom extensions?

 

Appreciate your inputs and suggestions!

Hello @Surya_Tiwari 

 

Thank you for your response.

We were able to get pvz files from Windchill to Thingworx.  What we need is how to extract the part structure from that PVZ file (which we fetched from windchill)?
