Desinger Quick Guide
A quick guide video about the Designer.Slightly out of date. Designers, Designer Elements and Element Choices are now stored in Data Tables. Feature ID and Element ID are now linked with theRow Name in the data tables.
Adding a Designer
Designers are created by adding an element to the Designers or from 04-2025 to the Designer Data array. Click (+) to add a new array element.Every array element contains the information for a separate designer widget. Use the element index as Feature ID in the Main Menu Layout.
The size of the icons and the widget width can be adjusted. The widget width can't be larger than the max width set in UI Panel Design.
Designer Settings
Designer Header appears at the top of the widget.There are two Target Actor Types
- Variation Actor - UI3 Variation blueprint actor
- External Actor - A blueprint actor not part of UI3
Designer and Layout Scenarios
The kitchen, for example has two variation sub levels with different layout and different costs.The Designer needs to receive the updated Details from the Variation actors in the current layout level to track the cost correctly. Every kitchen layout sub level needs its own set of Variation actors.
The Target Actor Type Override needs to be set to Variation Actor, Receiving Details for the Elements that have multiple Variation Actors to listen to.
The Designer will be updated once a different scenario level is loaded.
Designer To Variation Actor Link
Variation Actor and Designer are linked by having the same Tag name.The Variation Actor Type needs to be set to
- Link To Designer
Variation Details = Designer Choices
The Design Choices and the Variation Details arrays use the same structure. The settings can be copied between the Designer and the Variation Actors.
Designer To Blueprint Link
The Designer works well with external blueprints:- Modular Kitchen Builder
- Interactive Doors Blueprint
They can be linked by adding the blueprint interface BPI_UI3_Interaction to their swap actors.
On the Designer side, only the Tag and the Variation Details need to be added. The Target Actor Type is External Actor.
