# DesWipVariant

A variant contains a specific configuration of a base design.

### Common Data Model

- [Hardware Project Variant](https://w3id.org/altium/cdm/design/ProjectVariant) — A design variant of a project: a named variation of the same base design that is assembled with a different set of components. Within a variant, each component can be fitted, not fitted, fitted with varied parameters, or replaced by an alternate part, and the variant can define its own variant-level parameters. Assembly variants share one bare board, whereas fabrication variants also change overlay information and so need a different board.
