Creating Category for Options

[imagineeratheart]

Okay maybe this would be a better way to word it. How can I combine multiple options to make one attitribute? The best example I can think of is model trains. I would need it to be able to select the scale, the engine type, the color scheme or paint job, and have it combined into one attribute for one model of a train. This would be helpful because train companies produce the same train in different svales and paint schemes. All I have been able to do so far is add the options individually which makes each one show up as a way to order it regardless if it actually is available like that.

Stock by Attributes would be the way I would go with that. https://www.zen-cart.com/showthread.php?t=47180
Allows you to identify the attribute combinations that generate a product. To identify a unique identifier for that combination (model for example) and to maintain a quantity of that product that is available.
