Function Example 3

Example : Bolted Plate 3

Bolted Plate 2 definition works, but we get to write so many lines of parametric definition just for 2 plates a project may contain hundreds, even thousands of these plates. A better way to handle this is to define the steel plate object once as template and use that single definition many times throughout the project.

The 3D view of the project does not change. In fact it is the exact same model except I made the vertical plate thickness twice as much as the horizontal plate. In this case, we will do the parametric plate definition once and then use that definition to define two plates in space.
