# Site to BIM: Create a Variant Bundle – Masterplanning in Finch

## Create a Variant Bundle – Masterplanning in Finch

#### 1. Prepare your variants

* Upload your building variants from Forma (e.g., Building A, B, C) as well as a **Context** variant into your Finch project.
* Open each variant and assign programs (e.g., Residential, Office, Retail) so that metrics are correctly calculated.

***

#### 2. Create a new bundle

* Go to your **Project Page** in Finch.
* Scroll down to the **Bundles** section.
* Click **New Bundle** and name it (e.g., “Masterplanning Test”).
* Finch will automatically open your new bundle.

***

#### 3. Add variants to your bundle

* When the bundle opens, you will initially see an empty scene.
* Navigate to the **Data tab** on the right-hand side.
* Select the variants you want to include:
  * **Context**
  * **Building A**
  * **Building B**
  * **Building C**
* Each selected variant will appear in the scene, building up your full masterplan.

***

#### 4. Collaborate across variants

* Bundles allow teams to work on **separate variants simultaneously**.
  * For example, different team members can edit Building A, B, or C independently.
  * At the same time, another team member can stay inside the bundle view and monitor metrics as they update in real time.

***

#### 5. Review live metrics

* Within the bundle view, navigate to the **Key Figures** or **Data Drawers**.
* Review aggregated project data, such as:
  * Program split (e.g., 84% Residential, 13% Office, 4% Retail)
  * Unit mix
  * Usable and gross floor area breakdowns
* If you need to adjust proportions, simply **double-click a building** in the bundle to open its variant.
* Make edits (e.g., add another floor of retail), then return to the bundle.
* Metrics update automatically in real time.

***

#### 6. Work at masterplan scale

* Using bundles, you can:
  * Combine multiple buildings with shared context.
  * Track program distribution across the full site.
  * Enable team collaboration with live updates.

***

That’s it! You’ve created a variant bundle and learned how to manage your project at masterplan scale.
