Base Option Set

What is a Base Option Set?

A Base Option Set is preset per Home to present linked Configurables correctly to the end user and create a starting situation. Using the Base Option Set, and the previously set option list, we assign Functional options to a Home�such as the correct roof shape, lot-specific front facade, or end facade for corner units.

BIM Publisher

The Base Option Set is not available for BIM Publisher projects. It is only used in Home Configurator and Plan Configurator projects.

Setting the Base Option Set

Configure the Base Option Set in the Plan Editor. Select a Home and open the Base Option Set menu by clicking on the left side of the screen.

Open the Base Option Set

There are two actions in this screen:

  1. Turn options on/off.
  2. Make options visible or invisible per home.

Base Options

In mode, go through all categories to enable the Functional options appropriate for the selected Home.

Example options to enable: End facade (Left), End facade (Right), Front facade Lot 1, Cross roof (these can also be material switches).

In mode, hide options that the selected Home should not be able to choose.

Example: an �attached shed� option not available for mid-terrace units but available for corner units (assuming the same Configurable).

Hide options on Homes

Hiding options

Remember there are two places to hide options.

  1. In the Option list.
  2. Via the menu in the Base Option Set editor within a plan or project.

From the option list

Hiding an option from the option list itself applies the effect globally: the option is never available to the end user because it is hidden on all Homes using that Configurable. These options will never show in the Innobrix Viewer.

Visibility differences between Home Configurator and Plan Configurator

Options hidden from the option list appear italicized in the Home Configurator Plan Editor, but in the Plan Configurator Plan Editor they are not shown at all.

From a plan or project

Hiding an option within a project via the menu applies the effect locally: the option is hidden only for the selected Home.
