So the web designer can configure to fit best in the page.<br /><br />One thing also worth mentioning is that because the data is fed from the National BIM Library database - there will never be any currency problems where the data is different on different sites.<br /><br />In terms of configuring a subset of the objects, I really like that idea. Because at a base level it is an RSS feed, the web developer could filter out which products to display as you suggest depending on the context.<br /><br />Maybe I'll ask one of our developers to give me some example code I can post.<br /><br />SStephen Hamilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02249940911768910203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6092300065894914696.post-25382839614658271882013-04-24T09:05:03.417+01:002013-04-24T09:05:03.417+01:00Hi Stephen,
