Preview: The photo preview of the product
Name: The name of the product
Category: The category page where the product can be found

Standard Information: Display Name: The name that will display in the list that you refer it to.; Units: Choose the units of measure - millimeters, centimeters, or inches.; Categories: The category you wish to assign it to within the system.; Print Editor: The option to refer back to and assign a template from the back end of the system.; Inside Markup Value: The percentage increase overall for inside printing options; Blank Markdown Value: corresponds with blank products that don't require any printing

Parameters: Variable: The varialble name imported from SolveSpace 2D.; Min: The minimum allowance that is allowed for the variable; Max: The maximum allowance that is allowed for the variable; Default: The default value that will show; Step: The fractional step value to use. Define step as “16”. Will allow 16th-of-a-inch increments that is used in most cases.; Display Order: The order you want the variables to be displayed on the front end. Adjust the sort order by dragging the row icon on the left to the variable names.; Published: The option to publish the variable you would like to expose, like “Length,” “Width,” and “Depth.”; Action: The option to edit or publish

Standard Sizes: Name: The label to identify the size that will appear on the front end; Depth: The predetermined standard Depth; Length: The predetermined standard length; Width: The predetermined standard width; Depth: The predetermined standard depth; Discount Value: The overall percent off applied to standard sizes compared to custom selections; Action: The option to edit or delete an item
Add Standard Size: To add a new standard size, click the +Add Standard Size button in the top right corner and insert the needed information

Options: Die Line Costs: The cost of dieline when using the checkout method. Instant dieline downloads are free.; Sample Enabled: The option to offer a sample of the product.; Cost: The cost of each sample.; Sample Max Quantity: The limit of how many samples someone can order; Mockup Enabled: The option to offer a mockup of the product with design; Mockup Cost: The cost of each mockup; Mockup Max Qty: The limit of how many mockups someone can order

Rules: Restriction: Create a custom formula to set a restriction to prevent orders that cannot be produced. For example, length has to be greater than or equal to width as "Length>=Width".; Message: Create a customized error message to alert the customer when they have violated a rule that results in a failure to complete their order like: "Make Length greater then or or equal to Length".; Action: The option to edit or delete the restriction
Add Rule: To add a new rule, click the +Add Rule button in the top right corner of the screen and insert the formula and message.

Auto Flute: Mode This selection will effect the Flute dropdown on the Print Store calculator to show or be hidden:; 1. Visible: Customer can overide autoflute assignment on standard and custom,; 2. Visible Custom: Hides dropdown selection for standard sizes only,; 3. Hidden: Hides dropdown selection for both Standard and custom sizes,; 4. Disabled: Disables Autoflute.; Formula The Formula to be used with the range vaules like: Length*Width*Depth; + Add Range button To start a new range value set; Min. Area The lower range value to be set; Max. Area: The upper range to be set; Flute Integration The integration value attached to the flute selection to use within area defined; Action To edit or delete a range row

Animations: Design View Zoom in and hover over crease lines to expose what number applies to each crease.; Code View Used to define fold angles and default 3D states. Also used to create step animations between states.; A default animation starting point will be created for you to edit as needed. You need to follow the basic syntax. PrintNow has validation built in upon saving and will report any errors you make in code blocks.; The “target_folds” function includes all the crease lines part of the unique structure. This won’t change, so leave it as it is.; The “creat_state” function lists your available states and the label that shows in the 3D viewer. They will be ordered how they are created from top to bottom. Each state will contain the default folding angles.; The “animate” function contains the transitions. The five values contained within the parentheses after “transition” correspond as follows: 1. Start time, 2. End time, 3. Start angle, 4. End angle, 5. Animation method 0-5 ( 0 = linear, 1 = sine in/out, 2 = quad in/out, 3 = cubic in/out, 4 = bounce out, 5 = elastic out)

Sandbox: Parameters Exposes all variables for testing the 2D resolver.; Exports You can export a PDF with spot colors for further testing or SVG file.
