Configurator overview

The configurator turns a project into a configurable product: shoppers pick variations per part, the model updates live, and every state maps to SKUs your store understands.

The building blocks

Concept	What it does
Product	One configurable product; a project can hold several.
Part	A configurable slot (body, legs, cushion). The first part is the product’s base.
Variation	One choice for a part — swaps geometry, material or both, and carries a SKU.
Link groups	Parts that change together — pick walnut for the body and linked parts follow, so finishes always match.
Visibility groups	Parts that appear/disappear together based on the shopper’s choices.
Rules	Sales logic as configuration: block combinations, hide options, auto-correct invalid states, and explain why an option is unavailable.
Per-part cameras	Each part can define its own camera framing — selecting the part eases the view to it.

Assembly

Multi-part products load their parts in parallel and reveal them together — shoppers never watch a product build up piece by piece. Part placement comes from each model’s exported coordinate frame (see Preparing models).

Validation before publishing

The Setup Check lints your configuration — unreferenced variations, empty parts, conflicting rules — and can auto-fill the gaps it finds, so broken states never reach shoppers.
