Variables & configurations

Drive dimensions from named parameters and switch presets.

Variables are named numbers (or text) you reference from dimension and modifier fields via the ƒx expression toggle, so one change updates everything bound to it — the basis of a parametric, reusable model. Configurations capture named sets of variable values you can switch between, and public variables are what a customizer exposes to people who remix your model.

  1. Open the Variables panel and add a variable — a name and value, e.g. wall = 2.
  2. In Properties, click the ƒx toggle on a field and type an expression that uses it, e.g. wall * 2.
  3. Change the variable to update every field bound to it at once.
  4. Save named configurations to switch between preset value sets.
