Option Sets

Use this set of options to select or enter values in a paragraph and specify properties according to your project requirements. Examples of these properties for selection are measurements, materials, and inclusions.

Typically, baseline paragraphs include option sets to provide authors with guided customization. This enables you to specify firm-level project requirements without deviating from baseline content and retain formatting that is readable by Specpoint's product selection.
