Creating Sets of Parameters

You can create sets of parameters below the Parameters node of the specification tree. Using this capability enables you to regroup parameters by categories. Parameters belonging to a parameter set can be reordered using Reorder...from the contextual menu.

Before you begin: Check at least Parameters and Relations of the Display tab in the Tools > Options... > Infrastructure > 3D Shape Infrastructure settings.

  1. Create a Representation containing at least one parameter (otherwise, you will not have the Parameters node displayed in the specification tree).

  2. Access Knowledge Advisor, select the Parameters node in the specification tree and click Add a Set of Parameters . The Parameters.1 (or Parameters.n) parameter set is added to the specification tree right below the Parameters node.

  3. Select this Parameters node and click Parameters Explorer to add a new parameter to the parameter set you have just created. The Parameter Explorer dialog box is displayed. The name of the parameter set is displayed in the Feature field of the Parameter Explorer dialog box.

  4. Fill in the other fields of the Parameter Explorer dialog box. If need be, see Adding a Parameter to a Feature.

  5. After creating the new parameter, click OK in the Parameter Explorer dialog box. In the specification tree, you can expand the feature which represents the parameter set. A new parameter has been added below the parameter set.
