In the Modelup Configurator platform, you can add text inputs to the control panel. These can be used, for example, to:

• Add text that appears on geometry in the 3D view
• Include user-provided text in a generated PDF

There are two types of text input controls:

• Single-line input
• Multi-line input

Both work similarly - the only difference is that multi-line inputs allow longer text entries and line breaks.

Example configurator using two single-line inputs and one multi-line input.

How to create a Text Input

Follow these steps to create a text input:

1. Choose the input type

   • For single-line input, create a Floating Text Param and connect it to a Modelup Input.
   • For multi-line input, use a Panel and connect it to a Modelup Input.

2. Specify optional text setting

   Use the TextSettings component to configure:

   • Max length – the maximum number of characters allowed.
   • Validation rules – optional rules to control what users can enter (see below).

   Connect the Text Param or Panel directly to the P input of the TextSettings component.

3. Define validation rules

   There are two ways to add validation:

   • Presets – use built-in presets such as email or url.
   • Custom Regex – define your own pattern, error message, and optionally choose to negate the pattern (invert the validation rule).

   💡 Each text input can have multiple validation rules.
