If you click on the WoodWOP component button in the processing tab, the properties window of this processing opens.

"external.mpr" is suggested as the default file name. This file was preinstalled by SmartWOP and can be edited directly. If you want to create a new woodWOP component, overwrite the file name or select an existing woodWOP component using the button with the three dots.

The woodWOP software opens with a click on the woodWOP symbol. Remove the tick from the checkbox Embedded so that processing in woodWOP is possible.

Create the desired processing in woodWOP and save the component. Use variables if you want to conveniently transfer these values from SmartWOP to the component.
Close woodWOP to return to SmartWOP.

A notice: The file is saved in the set directory for woodWOP components. By default, this is the ML4 folder of the woodWOP working directory.

Drag editing woodWOP component on a component of the created object.

To access the parameters of the applied woodWOP component, simply click on the red wireframe cube in the middle of the component.

Here you fill in the parameters for the woodWOP component.

If the woodWOP component variables contains, these appear under the rubric parameter and can also be set.

How to create, load and edit components

Working with SmartWOP components significantly reduces the design effort. For example, a base cabinet can be saved as a component and later used in your other projects.

The component then adapts to the volume, you don't have to laboriously adjust the dimensions. Pull in once and you're done!

Creating a component

First, of course, we have to construct our base cabinet. When the construction of an object is complete, click the button Component\Save As. The button can be found under the Extras tab.

By default, components are stored in the Components subdirectory in SmartWOP's working directory.

More on this in our manual below Settings - Directories
tutorial video to directory settings

Tip: Create a subfolder in the "Components" directory to store your components in a structured manner. This makes it easier to access the components.

Loading components

Now we want to use the saved components as well.
We create a new volume and divide it into 3 areas using dividers.

Now let's look for our created component.
Navigate in gallery window to the folder where you saved the component.

Now let's just drag the component to the desired area.

The component scales and adapts to the entire volume automatically.

It's that easy!

But we want to change something in our base cabinet. Let's say remove the bottom drawer. No problem!

We need the component at this point dissolve.

First select the inserted component and then click on the button dissolve under the Extras tab.

The elements of the SmartWOP component are now individually clickable. So we can easily remove the lower drawer.

Select drawer
distance press on the keyboard
Complete!
