3D Model versions

Working with different 3D model version in the same configurator

Simplio3D supports 3D model versions to easily update a configurator without adding or updating option blocks.

When you are updating the 3D model inside a configurator there are 3 rules:

1. Keep the same naming of the 3D model. Do not add “V2”, “V3", etc. to the file name, because the system considers it to be a different model; it will automatically create a version number within the system.

2. When selecting a new 3D model version. When selecting a new 3D model version for the configurator, leave the old model version checked and check the new one, only in this way will all the model properties be transferred to the new model version.

Selecting new 3D model version

1. Same 3D parts naming. If the 3D parts do not have the same name as the old version of the model, the system will not transfer the properties to the parts of the new model.

If these rules are not kept, all options will not be linked to the new model and the configurator will no longer function properly.
