Model Parameters
Model Parameters
Parametric Shapes are prepared to be calculated in Parameter Manager. Whenever Parametric Shape is created core dimensions are automatically added to Parameter Manager. For example if cube is added to viewport three parameters are made: Lenght, Height, Width.
User Parameters
User Parameters
You can calculate and combine specific prefixes, tables and even physical constants to specify value of each parameter.
Calculations will be visible on viewport and Asset parameters.
