• Key Concepts: 
  Derivatives are a type of 3D object used in SAP Visual Enterprise (CA-VE). They are created from a base 3D object, such as a product or part, and can be used to represent different versions of the same object. For example, a derivative could be used to represent a product in different colors or sizes. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Derivatives can be created in SAP Visual Enterprise by selecting the base 3D object and then using the “Create Derivative” option. This will create a new derivative based on the original object. The derivative can then be modified to represent different versions of the original object. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating derivatives, it is important to ensure that all relevant information is included in the derivative. This includes any changes made to the original object, such as color or size. Additionally, it is important to ensure that the derivative is properly labeled so that it can be easily identified and accessed when needed.
