Abstract
The invention is directed to an apparatus, a computer program and a process for displaying objects of a PLM database, including the steps of providing a PLM database containing modeled objects and a graphical user interface (100), identifying (S200) a viewpoint on a view (110) of objects (21-24) to be rendered; and rendering (S210-270) said view according to the viewpoint, wherein the step of rendering includes determining (S210) a plurality of locations (32a-i) in the view, searching the database and identifying therein modeled objects according to the determined locations, and incrementally displaying (S220-S270) in the graphical user interface the modeled objects identified so as to rendering said view.
