3.1 - Introduction

To build a modular product, you will need:

• A Modular Context 🔗 (Product), representing the whole model. It has no 3D, just some metadata.
• Multiple products called Modules 🔗. Each module is a classic Configurable Product, with some extra data to make it work in a modular product.

Then only if you need them, you can create:

• Multiple Compositions 🔗 that are used to display predefined compositions of the modular product.

Below is a diagram representing all those products:

Example

As an example, if you have the "Sofa Model 1" that can be built using "2 seaters", "3 seaters" and "Corner":

• "Sofa Model 1" is a product without 3D called the Modular Context 🔗.
• "2 seaters", "3 seaters" and "Corner" are configurable products called Modules 🔗.
