I have a model with several variants connected with a direct link(Datasmith - Solidworks). I want to render the variants from the same perspective/texture etc. by selecting the needed variant and then export the image.

In Twinmotion I can’t find the configurations, it shows only the active variant from Solidworks.

When I change the configuration in the Solidworks assembly some parts will change but others will not, especially when they are sub-level variants(like length variants of the same part).

Can someone please tell me the correct way to use configurations in Twinmotion?
