Overview Video

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Slightly out of date.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.

Creating a Designer Widget

Feature ID

In the Main Menu Layout use

  • Feature Type Designer
  • Row Name of the designer in the designer data table (see below image)

image
Data Table Designer

All designers can live in this data table. Add a new row to the Data Table Designer to create a new designer

Elements Data Table

A data table defining the designer elements. Each row in the designer is a row in the Elements Data Table.

Tag == Row Name

The Tag in the Variation Actor needs to be set to the Row Name of the Designer Element Row.

image

Element Name and Icon

The name will be a combination of element name and choice name.
Icons can blend into the UI with the tick box UIColors. Set here for all choice buttons or in the Designer for all element icons.

Choices

Choice Buttons can take the Data from a data table row. Or they can be set manually in the Choices array. - See Variation Actor Documentation for more.

Prices

Prices in the data table row can be overridden with the values set in the Choice Prices Override array.

Design Scheme Behavior

How the Designer handles Design Schemes.

image

Variation Actors in Scenario Levels

Streaming scenario levels with different layouts may have Variation Actors with different values.
Only the quantity can be changed from streaming levels!

Variation Actor Type (Override)

Variation Actor (streamed in or out) will update the element quantity and cost.

Designer Choices Update

A streaming level will have the current designer choices applied automatically.

image

External Actors

The Designer works with external blueprints, like
  • Modular Kitchen Builder
  • Interactive Doors Blueprint

Target Actor Type (Override) == External Actor

External Blueprint Actor

External blueprints can be linked with the blueprint interface BPI_UI3_Interaction.

The Designer Element Row Name will be used as the Tag together with the choice button ID.
