Discuss the key design features of the Eneroth Design Options (Pro) Plugin

Creating tags

The Eneroth Design Options (Pro) plugin allows users to create a series of tags prefixed by “Option”, the choice, a colon and the name of each alternative. These tags can be applied by the users to the groups and design components.

Using tag folders

With the help of the Eneroth Design Options (Pro) plugin, the user can alternatively use a tag folder, which helps to represent the design choice. The user can also create a tag folder that has been named something starting with “Option”. The user can put the tags that they have selected inside it.

Uses groups

With the help of the Eneroth Design Options (Pro) plugin, the user can use a group, which enables them to represent child groups or design components to represent the design options. These groups are useful when all design options have been confined to the same place. The Eneroth Design Options (Pro) plugin also allows users to set up the design choices inside the 3D space directly by using the parent/child group hierarchies. This feature helps to avoid cluttering the tags panel; thus, the design options can be moved together as a single block.

Offering dedicated toolbars

The Eneroth Design Options (Pro) plugin helps to offer a dedicated user interface toolbar, which enables users to toggle options and access the design features without navigating through the context or top-level menus.
