Configurators and Try-OnOptions on any model

Metal, two-tone and halo options on one model ​

Add metal choices, two-tone choices and halo choices to one model in Playground.

One model can hold more than one set of options. The Material Configurator changes a material. The Object Configurator shows one object and hides the others.

Before you start ​

  • Open the model in Playground.
  • Give each metal part its own material name. To do this, put the parts on different layers in your CAD software. See Layers and names.
  • For halo options, put each version in the same model file as a different object.

Add metal options ​

Step 1 of 5
  1. Click the metal part in the canvas.
  2. At the top of the canvas, click Add Configurator. A material library opens.
  3. Click each metal that you want as an option.
  4. Look at the bar at the bottom of the canvas. Each metal shows there as a thumbnail.
  5. To remove a metal, click it again in the library.

The name of the option set comes from the material name of the part.

Add two-tone options ​

A two-tone ring has two metal parts. Each part gets its own option set.

Step 1 of 4
  1. Click the first metal part. Then do the steps in "Add metal options".
  2. Click the second metal part. Then do the same steps again.
  3. To change the name of an option set, right-click the name and select Edit.
  4. Type a clear name, for example "Band" or "Head".

The customer can then select one metal for each part.

Keep the material names

An option set finds its part by the material name. If you change a material name later, the option set does not work.

Add halo options ​

Step 1 of 3
  1. Model each version as a different object, for example a head with a halo and a head without a halo.
  2. Keep all versions in one file.
  3. Set up the options with the Object Configurator. That page has a video of the steps.

File size

All versions load together, so the file becomes larger. This method is good for 2 to 5 versions.
