How to design with generic products
This article will show you how to design and space plan with a collection of standard products that are available to all users.
Within our public Products database of over 27,000 skus, we do offer a collection of standard products that you can design mood boards with and even use to layout floor plans and space plan with. This can be helpful when you just need a placeholder product in your furniture layout.
Each product in the Canoa's Standards collection includes a name, image, basic sizing dimensions, and a scaled 2D drawing. These standards are great to design with as thought-starters for space planning.
How to view standard products:
Open the Products tab in the left-side navigation bar.
In the main search bar, type in Canoa Standards. (You can also search for Canoa Standards in the Brand drop-down field).
You can also search for this standard collection in Canvas.
Within a Canvas, click on the + button to add a product.
Type in Canoa Standards to either the product search bar or in the Brand drop-down menu.
Bring in the standard product you want to design with by dragging and dropping it into the Canvas.
Remember: You can toggle between three assets of each standard product - it's image, it's product card with the basic data, and it's 2D vector drawing.
