Alternative Items and Parts help you manage optional choices or required components for any design selection.
Alternative Items are optional versions of the primary item linked to an Item ID. For example, if you select a faucet, you can attach additional faucet options so the designer or client can review other options later.
Parts are items required for the composition, installation, or function of another item.
How it works
Navigate to the item you want to update.
In this example, we will open the item from the Item IDs view of the schedule.
In the fly-in panel, scroll to the bottom and select either Alternative Items or Parts.
Click Add Alternative or Add a New Part, depending on what you are adding.
Search the catalog for the item you want and select it.
If you want to make an alternative the new primary item, select Set as Primary next to the alternative.
