Introduction: 

The Condo Grid Configurator (CGC) complements the Condo Unit Configurator. With this application, you create a visual representation of the footprint of each floor and the units within it. In addition, you link floorplans and any other available media to each Unit or Condo Amenity.

!!  The Condo Grid Configurator (CGC) does not allow you to Layout or Style your Condo Grid. You do this with the Website & Landing Page Builder (WLPB) and the Touchscreen Builder (TB) -if included in your package-. 

!! Heads-Up 

Our Table of Contents links might occasionally land you Just Below The Target Section. If this happens, a Simple Scroll Up to the Previous Section will get you right where you need to be.
