1. A method for updating instructions of machine repairs to a user interface, the method comprising:

  • populating, by one or more processors, a quantity of machine components used to construct a machine model;

    receiving, by the one or more processors, the machine model constructed from the quantity of machine components;

    coupling, by the one or more processors, the machine model with a set of vital product data wherein the set of vital product data is a file associated with a specific machine;

    indicating, by the one or more processors, an alert within the vital product data when a machine registers an error, wherein the machine is represented by the machine model and a component associated with the error is highlighted in a specific color;

    detecting, by the one or more processors, a change to the set of vital product data;

    responsive to detecting the change to the set of vital product data, updating, by the one or more processors, the quantity of machine components used to construct the machine model;

    associating, by the one or more processors, a set of instructions and an alternate set of instructions for a repair procedure with the machine model and a file associated with the set of vital product data;

    storing, by the one or more processors, the set of vital product data in the file and updating the file when the set of vital product data is modified;

    generating, by the one or more processors, a three-dimensional visual representation and an alternate three-dimensional visual representation of the repair procedure, specific to the machine model, based on a set of animation sequences wherein one or more animation sequences are associated with one or more steps of the repair procedure;

    augmenting, by one or more processors, the three-dimensional visual representation of the repair procedure to allow a user to change graphical perspective based on removing components from the three-dimensional representation obstructing relevant components and zooming in/out to give a better view of the relevant components; and

    presenting, by one or more processors, a three-dimensional visual representation of the repair procedure specific to the machine model wherein the three-dimensional visual representation can be instructed to stop, rewind and fast forward.
