The procedure for creating configurations varies between manufacturers and even between catalogs for some manufacturers. The basic design flow remains the same.
-
You can dock the Properties pane under the Content pane or auto-hide it.
-
If the appropriate catalog is not yet selected, click on the drop-down arrow in the Content pane.
-
Select the product from the Content pane and drag it to the into the configuration window on the right, where it snaps into place.
First, place the base frame, then any stacking frames, and finally apply any tiles. Note that nomenclature varies between manufacturers. This step might require that you place panels and then add elements to those panels. Panel Builder follows each manufacturer’s nomenclature.
If you are configuring Knoll Dividends Horizon open position panel frames, you will be prompted to select structural options. For more information about Options, see Options help.
As you put your panel configuration together, keep in mind that Panel Builder has many fundamental and catalog-specific rules set in place. Go to Configuration Design Rules for more information about this.
The caption bar at the top displays the total height of the stack assembly.
If you want to remove a panel from the configuration, click on it then press -
You can now set the properties/finishes (such as top cap type, power features, materials, etc.) of each element in the configuration.
Note: When building a configuration in Panel Builder, if the tiles on one side are the same as the other, you can use the Copy Side buttons
to quickly duplicate the tiling. After copying tiles be sure to update the Finish Codes as required.
Attention: The copy side commands bypass the rules for tile placement. Use it only when you are certain that the configuration can support the same tiles on both sides.
