Variants

Variants tool combines many objects into one group in which only one object can be displayed at a time. This works by using a radio button switch.

Variants can contain any objects:

• Models/objects
• Lighting
• Camera
• Hotspots
• A group that will contain many objects, including unique lighting and a camera.

The Variants tool is used as a source for the Variants (Floating UI element). In this way, you determine which objects will be available for switching in your 3D configurator.

<aside> 💡 Using Variants as a source for the Materials (Floating UI element) allows you to change materials for each object

</aside>

<aside> 🔥 Objects within Variants can be switched with different triggers (ie: Click or hover). This is configured in the Interact mode.
