 ### Configurations
 
-All the configurations are exported and available in the editor after the export and the conversion. In SolidWorks there is no standard concerning configuration management, but Nomad 3D have requirements concerning these. A `median` configuration is mandatory. The `min` and `max` configurations can be provided but are optional. All the components should have the same visibility in the `median`, `min` and `max` configurations. Any other configuration will be ignored.
+All the configurations are exported and available in the Editor after the export and the conversion. In SolidWorks there is no standard concerning configuration management, but Nomad 3D have requirements concerning these. The configurations are stored at the global level. A `median` configuration is mandatory. The `min` and `max` configurations can be provided but are optional. All the components should have the same visibility in the `median`, `min` and `max` configurations. Any other configuration will be ignored. So for Nomad 3D, ideally there are 3 configurations : `median`, `min`, `max`.
 
-The `median` configuration can be computed automatically once all the axes are calibrated. This configuration is generated using the active configuration to get the components visibility, and the median values of the axes to get the positions of the components. If the bounds of all the axes are defined, the `min` and `max` configurations can be computed automatically in the editor as well, using these bounds and the active configuration.

+The `median` configuration can be computed automatically once all the axes are calibrated. This configuration is generated using the active configuration to get the components visibility, and the median values (i.e. 0) of the axes to get the positions of the components. 
 
-Components visibility can be edited in configurations. For Nomad 3D this feature is only used to clean up the model (remove duplicates and show hidden components).
+* Edit > Configurations > Save min configuration :
+If the bounds of all the axes are defined, the `min` configurations can be computed automatically in the Editor as well, using these bounds and the active configuration.

+* Edit > Configurations > Save max configuration :
+Same as `min`.

+
+* View > Show configuration : Shows the configuration list and allows to select a configuration.
+
+As the configuration definitions is free, a SolidWorks can have partial views (because of the visibility) whereas we need a complete visible model to animate.  
+Procedure:
+1. Find the closest configuration *R* from reality.
+2. Add the hidden components from other configurations *S* :
+  * Select the components in *S*.
+  * Selection > Show selection in current configuration : select R. Note that the transform is also copied.
+
+Some configurations can be removed by Configurations > Remove configuration.
+The material can also edited by a in-house Phong model.
