A range is a set of pieces that build together on one grid — a sofa system, a desking family, a storage wall. In this tutorial we’ll create a range, add its pieces and put it live.

#Steps in short

1. Open Ranges & pieces and press New range.
2. Pick a grid that divides your pieces evenly.
3. Optionally give a room width and depth.
4. Add each piece with its size, model, connectors and product.
5. Switch Live on the store on.

#1. Create the range

In 3D Builder, open Ranges & pieces and press New range. Give it a name customers will recognise.

#2. Choose the grid cell

Every piece is rounded to whole grid cells. Pick a size that divides your pieces evenly: 50 mm for seating in 700 and 850 mm modules, 100 mm or 200 mm for desking in 800, 1200 and 1600 mm modules. A finer grid snaps more precisely and asks a little more of the browser; 50–100 mm suits most ranges.

You can change it later — pieces, saved layouts and connector spans are all converted to the new grid, to the nearest cell.

#3. Set a default room

Default room is optional. With a width and depth, the builder opens with that room drawn and pieces can’t be placed outside it. Customers can change it.

#4. Add the pieces

For each piece, fill in:

#5. Put it live

When the range has its pieces, switch Live on the store on. Only live ranges appear in the builder and in the page builder’s range picker. Duplicate a range to make a variation — another fabric family, say — without starting again.
