Introduction

Paramiq is a platform for creating parametric product configurators. You define parameters, write formulas that compute derived values, build specifications (bill of materials), and generate calculations for your customers.

Core Concepts

• Configuration — a parametric product model (e.g., a fence, a kitchen, a pergola).
• Parameters — inputs like width, height, material type.
• Calculations — formulas that derive values from parameters (area, price, quantity).
• Specification — the bill of materials with quantities and prices.
• Calculation (order) — a concrete instance with specific parameter values.

Workflow

• Create a configuration with parameters (inputs like width, height, material).
• Add calculations — formulas that derive values from parameters.
• Build a specification — the list of materials and nested configurations.
• Generate calculations (orders) — apply specific parameter values and get a priced BOM.

Editor Layout

The configuration editor uses a flexible panel layout. Click the Layout button in the toolbar to choose a preset: Two Columns, Three Columns, Split Right, Quad View, or Focus (single panel). Each panel can display any content type — Parameters, Calculations, Specification, BOM Preview, Live Preview, 3D Viewport, or Nested Configs — use the panel header dropdown to switch.

Templates

Paramiq includes a curated template gallery across categories like Fencing, Outdoor, Furniture, Structural, and Openings. Templates pre-fill parameters, calculations, specification items, and 3D rules so you can start from a realistic draft instead of a blank editor.
