Objects and the catalogue

This section is about filling the van: where the things you put in it come from, and how you keep track of them once they are in there.

An object is anything you place inside the van: a bed frame, a fridge, a water tank, a sheet of ply, or something you built yourself in the custom-object editor. Objects carry a weight and a cost, so everything you place feeds your bill of materials.

Components are parametric, not fixed models - resizing one changes the shape it generates rather than stretching a mesh, so a longer worktop stays a worktop.

What is in this section

• The catalogue - the component browser: categories, search, and placing an item into your van.
• My library - saving your own custom objects so you can reuse them across designs.
• The Object List - the always-visible list of everything in your design, with per-object visibility and multi-select.
