1. A method of identifying a condition of assembly, the method comprising:
identifying a model for an aircraft; identifying and selecting a state from states of assembly for the aircraft, wherein the states of assembly for the aircraft are based on a physical location of the aircraft within a manufacturing facility; identifying parts present in the aircraft for the state selected from the aircraft; displaying sections of the aircraft with the parts present in the aircraft for the state selected in a graphical user interface on a display device; detecting a selection of a section from the sections displayed in the graphical user interface; identifying a volume in the model corresponding to the section selected from the sections displayed in the graphical user interface; identifying parts present in the volume; displaying the section in the graphical user interface using the volume identified in the model with the parts present in the section selected with the state identified; and generate information for operating manufacturing equipment within the manufacturing facility to manufacture the aircraft using sections of the aircraft displayed with the parts present in the aircraft for the state selected in the graphical user interface on the display device.
