Can I add a product to a family from the product itself?

Yes. On a standalone product, choose Add to a family, then pick the parent. The product moves into the parent's room.

Often, yes. Right after moving a product into a family, choose Undo. See Move uncommitted products.

Add or remove sub-products

Build a product family: add sub-products to a parent, add a product to a family, remove one, or flatten the family.

Why use it

Many pieces are really one purchase: a dining table and its leaf, a bed frame and its headboard, a sectional's modules. Grouping them as a family keeps their costs together, lets you hide the small parts from your client, and puts one decision and one invoice line in front of them.

When to use it

Multi-piece furniture. Sectionals, modular storage, bed frames with separate headboards.
Fixtures with parts. A light with its canopy, a faucet with its valve.
Sets repeated across rooms. Copy pieces into a family without moving the originals.

Before you start

The products in the project, or in your Library.
Open the parent's product page or family page. Family actions are in Actions.

Steps

Windsor Oak Dining Table family page, with the parent table and its 8-chair sub-product, and the Actions panel offering Flatten family and Add sub-products. — Add or remove sub-products, Lombard Street Loft

Open the family, here Windsor Oak Dining Table, and find its Actions panel.
Choose Add sub-products to pick pieces for this family.
Choose where to look, This room, Other rooms, Whole project or Library.
Search by name to narrow the list, for example Oak.
Choose a product to move it in, or its Copy button to leave the original where it is.
Confirm with Copy product or Move product. It joins the family right away, with Undo if you change your mind.
To take a piece out, open it and choose Remove from family. To break up the whole family, choose Flatten family.

Rather click through it? The guided demo walks you through the real screen, one step at a time.

What happens next

Moodiri confirms each piece moved, copied or added. The family's client total updates.
Sub-products shown to your client bill as their own lines; hidden ones fold into the parent's price. Set this under Visibility on the family page.
If the change affects products your client has reviewed or can see, Moodiri asks you how to proceed. See Family revisions.
Remove from family makes the piece a standalone product. If it was the only sub-product, the parent becomes standalone too.
Flatten family makes the parent and every sub-product standalone. Each keeps its current quantity, and hidden pieces stay unbilled until you show them.

Limits

Limits

Flatten family checks billing each time its dialog opens. When invoices already bill the family, the dialog explains why it cannot be flattened instead of offering Flatten family.
With Add to a family, the parent must be a standalone product or an existing family's parent, not a sub-product.
Moving into a family removes the product's editable section placements.
