# Ar-range

> Ar-range renders every variant of every product, then powers the configurators, AI search and showroom checkout that turn all that choice into finished orders. One catalog, every channel.

Ar-range renders every variant of a configurable product, keeps one record per
product that every sales channel reads, and powers the configurators, search and showroom
tools that turn that catalogue into orders. Built for furniture and other made-to-order
categories where the number of variants is the problem.

## Documentation
- [3D models: what to send us](https://ar-range.app/docs/briefs/3d-models/): For contracts where you supply your own 3D models: the files, formats and checks each model has to pass before we render it or put it in a configurator. When we build the models, you need none of this.
- [Add your first item](https://ar-range.app/docs/add-your-first-item/): Create an item in a group, fill in its fields, and see it in the catalogue.
- [Edit an item](https://ar-range.app/docs/edit-an-item/): The same form you filled when you created it. Fields commit together when you save, so a half-finished edit is never visible.
- [Create an item group](https://ar-range.app/docs/create-an-item-group/): An item group is a shelf plus the shape of what goes on it. Create the group first, then its fields.
- [Point one item at another](https://ar-range.app/docs/relate-items-across-groups/): Fabrics on a sofa, legs on a table. A relation is a field, and it only offers items from the group you aimed it at.
- [Find anything quickly](https://ar-range.app/docs/search-and-autocomplete/): Search is scoped to your project and matches names across items, products and models, so you rarely need to remember where something lives.
- [Add a field to an item group](https://ar-range.app/docs/add-a-field-to-an-item-group/): Fields come from the group, not the item. Add one and every item in that group gets it.
- [Choose a field type](https://ar-range.app/docs/choose-a-field-type/): Nine types. This is the short version: what each one is for.
- [Fields that hold several values](https://ar-range.app/docs/fields-with-several-values/): One sofa, several fabrics, and a price that differs for each pair.
- [Work with product groups and variants](https://ar-range.app/docs/product-groups-and-variants/): A product group holds the options a product varies by. A variant is one valid combination of them.
- [Upload and organise images](https://ar-range.app/docs/media-library/): Images live in the project's media library, not on the item. Upload once, use anywhere.
- [Layer order and behaviour](https://ar-range.app/docs/layer-order-and-behaviour/): Layers stack in a set order, each one answering to the parameters you tie it to. Optional layers can drop out; others fall back rather than leave a hole.
- [Why compositing beats rendering everything](https://ar-range.app/docs/why-compositing-costs-less/): A catalogue's combinations multiply faster than any render farm. Layers are rendered once and assembled on request, and identical results share one cached image.
- [Add a layer to a model](https://ar-range.app/docs/add-a-layer/): A layer is one piece of the picture, tied to one parameter. Layer order is the order they are drawn.
- [Upload layer images](https://ar-range.app/docs/upload-layer-images/): A layer needs one image per option of its parameter. Not one per combination.
- [Check coverage before you publish](https://ar-range.app/docs/check-layer-coverage/): Coverage tells you which layer and option pairs have no image yet. A gap is a hole in the render.
- [Connect a shop](https://ar-range.app/docs/ecommerce-integrations/): Content Hub talks to your shop through an integration. Shoper is built in; anything else is a development job, and the shop's own API sets the ceiling.
- [Link a shop product to an item](https://ar-range.app/docs/link-product-to-item/): One product can carry many items. The link is what lets a shop page show the fabric, the colour and the images that live in Content Hub.
- [Edit shop prices](https://ar-range.app/docs/edit-shop-prices/): Change a product's price, and a variant's price, from Content Hub. The change goes to the shop, so treat it as editing the shop itself.
- [Show a render on your product page](https://ar-range.app/docs/show-a-render-on-your-page/): A composite render is one image URL. No SDK, no client-side compositing.
- [Pick the right identifier in a render URL](https://ar-range.app/docs/render-url-identifiers/): A one-character prefix decides how each token is looked up, including letting the URL speak your own shop ids.
- [Refresh a render after replacing artwork](https://ar-range.app/docs/refresh-a-render/): Replacing a layer image does not change the URL, so the cached picture stays until you clear it.
- [What is a product record?](https://ar-range.app/docs/what-is-a-product-record/): One row that says how a product looks, what it costs and what it is made of, and that every channel reads instead of keeping its own copy.
- [Variants or configurations, where is the line?](https://ar-range.app/docs/variants-vs-configurations/): A variant is a thing you could stock. A configuration is a thing you build on demand. Treating one as the other is the most expensive catalogue mistake there is.
- [Do I need a PIM as well as Content Hub?](https://ar-range.app/docs/do-i-need-a-pim/): Often you already have one and it is not the thing that is failing. The honest answer depends on which half of the problem hurts.
- [How many images does one product variant need?](https://ar-range.app/docs/how-many-images-per-variant/): Fewer than a photoshoot suggests and more than a catalogue usually has. The number follows from what the buyer is unsure about.
- [Prerendered visuals or a 3D engine on the page?](https://ar-range.app/docs/prerendered-or-3d-engine/): Two ways to show a configurable product, with different failure modes. Most catalogues need the first and are sold the second.
- [What stays in your ERP?](https://ar-range.app/docs/what-stays-in-your-erp/): Most of it. The catalogue layer owns what the customer sees; ownership of everything else does not move.

## Products
- [Variant Visuals](https://ar-range.app/products/variant-visuals/): Studio shots, 360s and context scenes prerendered in bulk from one 3D model, so every buyer sees the exact fabric and size they picked, not a grey stand-in.
- [Content Hub](https://ar-range.app/products/content-hub/): One record per product, how every variant looks, what it costs, what it's made of, feeding your storefront, configurator, showroom and every market.
- [Modular Configurator](https://ar-range.app/products/modular-configurator/): 3D modular configurator for sofas, sectionals and outdoor kitchens: buyers snap modules together and each build leaves as a priced, buildable order.
- [AI Search](https://ar-range.app/products/ai-search/): Shoppers type what they want the way they'd say it to a salesperson and land on the exact product, out of hundreds, in one step.
- [Fabric Digitization](https://ar-range.app/products/fabric-digitization/): We turn a physical swatch into a photoreal PBR material: colour, weave, sheen and pile measured, not guessed, then reused across every render and configurator.

## Solutions
- [Visualize Every Variant](https://ar-range.app/solutions/visualize-every-variant/): Every fabric, wood and size you actually sell, rendered and live on the product page, so buyers see the exact piece they are about to order, not a stand-in.
- [Showroom Suite](https://ar-range.app/solutions/showroom-suite/): In the showroom your dealers have everything; at home the buyer has a quote. Turn that quote into a product page for their exact configuration, not a code list.
- [Selling Internationally](https://ar-range.app/solutions/selling-internationally/): Selling the same product abroad is not translation. Run market-specific pages, pricing and imagery from one product record, without a storefront per country.
- [Help Buyers Find the Right Product](https://ar-range.app/solutions/help-buyers-find-the-right-product/): Buyers describe what they want the way they would tell a salesperson. Give them a search box that understands the sentence and answers with real products from your catalog, shown in the exact variant.
- [Sell To New Markets](https://ar-range.app/solutions/sell-to-new-markets/): Buyers in each market decide on different facts. Serve every country from one catalog, with the right facts leading each page, without rebuilding a webshop per country.

## Built for (product categories)
- [Modular Sofas](https://ar-range.app/industries/modular-sofas/): Corner, chaise, ottoman, a dozen fabrics, three woods. We make every sectional build something a buyer can see and order, online and on the showroom floor.
- [Upholstered Beds](https://ar-range.app/industries/upholstered-beds/): Bed configurators with photo-quality renders for upholstered bed manufacturers, built into the shop you already run. From Poznań, Poland: 120 live on MyBed.pl.
- [Shelving Systems](https://ar-range.app/industries/shelving-systems/): A shelving system is not a product, it is a grammar: modules, widths, finishes, and the rules for combining them. We make every valid build something a buyer can see and order.
- [Outdoor Kitchens](https://ar-range.app/industries/outdoor-kitchens/): An outdoor kitchen is the largest thing most people put in their yard, and every one is built to order. The website is not the shop, it is the reason somebody gets in the car.
- [Wardrobes & Cabinetry](https://ar-range.app/industries/wardrobes-and-cabinetry/): Fitted wardrobes are quoted, not picked off a shelf. Visual CPQ turns a measured brief into a picture, a price and an order that production can build.
- [Home Cinema Seating](https://ar-range.app/industries/home-cinema-seating/): Home cinema seating comes as one recliner or a whole row, in leathers a showroom cannot stock. Show every layout and finish, so the buyer sees the seating in their own room.
- [Bicycles & Sports Equipment](https://ar-range.app/industries/bicycles/): A bike is sold as a build: frame size, colour, groupset, wheels. We render every combination and price it as it is chosen, so the buyer configures the bike they will actually receive.
- [Bathroom Cabinets & Vanities](https://ar-range.app/industries/bathroom-cabinets/): Bathroom furniture is bought to fit a room that already exists. We render and price every width, finish and basin combination, so the customer configures what will actually go in.
- [Print Personalisation & Packaging](https://ar-range.app/industries/print-personalisation/): Custom print is sold one artwork at a time. We put the customer's file on a 3D model of the pouch, box or product, preflight it and send the order to the cart, so the proof by email goes away.
