Project Variants
Project Variants module allows you to show your customer different solutions of the same project, in the same desktop.
Every variant physically is a separate copy of the project on disk; that’s to say that every time you create a new Variant,
the Application duplicates the project in its current configuration. This means that we suggest you to fix the furnishings
disposition before creating tiles variations, and vice versa.
In the following paragraphs you will learn how to manage Variants (also called variations later on in this chapter).
Create a new Variant
Project Variants commands can be found in the TOOLS section of the Ribbon. The image
on the left is a panorama of the Project variants features available for this module (visible
just when the project is opened).
If you want to create a variation of the current project, click the button called New
Variant, and give a description for the new variation of the project. Don’t’ forget that the
original project represents the first variant (it’s description is the project description
itself): this means that when you create a new project, this is already Variant n.1. By creating a new Variant, the new one will
be Variant n. 2 (and a second project, replica of the first one, will automatically be created on disk and in the Application’s
database).
This scheme shows you the way Application creates 3 project variants.
