The Pseudo Product _Master

There can be an optional pseudo product with the ID _Master. The Properties defined for this pseudo product in the Mapping of commercial properties will be inherited by all other Products. The Master product does currently support only the definition of Property Mappings.

Mapping Properties to Geometric Parts

For complex Products it may be useful to define what Properties (in terms of a sub-set of all Properties) belong to a sub part of the Product. For instance, armrest properties may belong to the left and right armrest.

This can be done by using the Description field, available for each 3D component. Property references must have the following syntax:

@id1@id2@

So it must start and end with @, @ is also used as separator, and only one list of references is allowed in a Description field.

The Client must do an up-traversal starting at the hit component to find the relevant references (if any).

For convenience, the Pages Products/Graphical/Structure, Products/Graphical/Geometry and Products/Graphical/Material display a string containing the references of all mapped, native properties. You may copy-paste this then to a Description field and remove the unwanted references. You find this below the main table in those pages, e.g. in Geometry:

Native Ids: @FU@. Please set Only One Rotation Axis per Component.
