Pick a ready market cover model
How to do it
- Open «Reference data (DB tables)» in the menu and go to the «Box types» tab. Factory models sit in the common list and carry the «market» mark.
- Find the model that matches the cover you bought: the row shows the number of cells and the grid size, with the layout drawing on the left.
- To simply create boxes from it, nothing has to be built - switch its «In use» flag on and it shows up in the list when a box is added to the bar.
- To adjust the layout for yourself, press «Copy»: the copy becomes your own and opens in the editor. The factory model itself stays untouched.
When it is available
- Available to an administrator.
- Factory models are available on any plan. A copy is already your own type, so it needs Pro (on Free - the one editor trial).
Important
- THERE IS NO SEPARATE «catalogue of market models» SCREEN in the app: factory models sit in the same box types list as your own and differ by the mark.
- Market models are protected from changes; to correct the layout, make a copy. The box map is drawn in true proportion from the factory model.
- An old type without cover geometry has nothing to copy, and the app says so: «This type has no geometry to copy».

If you see a message
- «A factory model cannot be modified - make a copy» - a market model ships as a factory one and cannot be edited. Make a copy if you need changes.
- «Cannot change the layout of a type that already has boxes» - the layout cannot be changed while boxes exist for this type.
