Setting Up the First Porch

This section walks you through a basic setup. For the complete settings for each model, see Modelle & Einstellungen.

Prerequisites​

Create a Configurator​

  • In K3 Admin, open Configurators and click on
    Loading...
    .
  • Enter a name, e.g., "Patio Roof Configurator."
  • Save and open the editor.

Add a Design​

  • In the editor, click on
    Loading...
    .
  • Select the type veranda.
  • Open the model dialog and enter the basic dimensions, e.g., width 4, clear height 2.5, depth 3.
  • Save. The basic structure appears in the 3D preview.

Create and Assign a Covering​

  • Create another dynamic model of type veranda-glas-eindeckung.
  • Enter the desired settings, e.g., material 0 for glass.
  • Create a Regel that assigns this model to slot konstruktion-slot-eindeckung.
  • Save. The glass surface appears on the roof.

Creating and Assigning Posts​

  • Create a dynamic model of type veranda-pfosten.
  • Enter the number of posts at the front and back.
  • Assign the model to the konstruktion-slot-pfosten slot using a rule.

Linking a Feature to a Prop​

To allow your customers to adjust the width themselves:

  • In the Editor, create a Merkmal of type Number, e.g., “Width” with a minimum of 2 and a maximum of 8.
  • In the design model, for the Total Width prop, enter the calculation variable('Breite').Wert instead of a fixed value.
  • Save. The slider appears in the configurator and changes the porch width in real time.

All other props work on the same principle: fixed value or property reference.
