Design tab

This section of the workspace displays relevant information about the jewelry design, such as the design name, description, dimensions, and any other important details. A list of the elements used in the design, such as gems, metals, and components, can also be accessed here.

1. Project Name

Here, you can assign a descriptive name to your jewelry design project for easy identification.

By clicking on the project name, a panel will appear with additional information about the project. This panel will display various details such as the name of the project, a brief description that provides an overview of what the project is about, the material used in its construction, and an SKU (Stock Keeping Unit) that serves as a unique identifier for the project.

In addition to these details, the panel allows you to determine which metals the model will be available in. This means you can select the specific metal in which you would like the project to be made.

Furthermore, the panel provides automated renders, which are visual representations or images of the project. These renders give you a clear idea of how the project will look once it is completed.

Moreover, you can also view the elements that make up the project. This includes a breakdown of the different components or parts that constitute the overall project. For each element, you can see its characteristics or properties, as well as the quantity or number of instances of that element that exist within the project.

Overall, the panel provides a comprehensive and detailed view of the project, allowing you to access specific information and also edit it, visualize the project through renders, and understand its composition and characteristics.

Design Information

2. Parameters

The parameter panel serves as a control center for customizing basic project features. Within this panel, there are different options such as

Metal: It allows you to select the type of metal for the real-time visualization of the model, such as gold or silver, defining the material of the jewelry piece.

Mode: You can choose between "Render" and "Manufacturing" modes. "Render" focuses on creating visually appealing digital representations, while "Manufacturing" mode emphasizes designing for physical production.

Weight: Refers to the overall weight of the jewelry model. It represents the mass or heaviness of the piece, measured in grams. This parameter allows you to specify the desired weight or estimate the weight of the jewelry design you are working on. It is particularly useful for manufacturers or customers who have specific weight requirements or preferences for their jewelry pieces.

Type: It helps categorize the jewelry design, such as a ring, bracelet, pendant, or other available options.

Size: This parameter specifically applies to ring designs, allowing you to specify the measurement of the finger on which the ring will be worn, ensuring a proper fit.

3. Elements

Provides a structured approach to organizing and selecting different components for jewelry design, allowing users to create customized pieces more efficiently. 2Shapes divides different classes of elements such as Shank Types, Gemset Types, Bails, Beads, Charms, and Static elements.

Shank Types: These refer to different styles or designs of the ring shank, which is the band that encircles the finger. Examples of shank types include solitaire, halo, pave, split shank, and vintage.

Gemset Types: This category includes various options for setting gemstones within a piece of jewelry. It encompasses settings like bezel, basket, peghead, and halo. Each gem set type determines how the gemstones are held in place within the jewelry design.

Bails: Bails are components that provide a way to attach pendants or charms to necklaces or bracelets.

Beads: Beads are small decorative elements that are typically spherical or oval in shape. Beads are often used in jewelry-making to create patterns or add texture to designs.

Charms: Charms are small decorative trinkets or pendants that are often attached to bracelets or necklaces. They can represent various symbols, shapes, or objects and are used to personalize or add meaning to the jewelry piece.

Bangle: A bangle is a rigid bracelet that is usually circular in shape and slips over the wrist.

Static Elements: Static elements refer to any other components or design elements that do not fall into the aforementioned categories. These can include elements like clasps, connectors, chains, engraved plates, or any other fixed components within the jewelry design.

4. Elements options
