Make a model parametric
Turn a fixed model into one driven by a few named parameters, then generate sizes from it.
Steps
- 1
Say what should drive the model
Pick the few dimensions people actually change.
Example request Make this cabinet parametric so changing width, height, and depth updates everything in proportion. Keep the panel thickness fixed at 18 mm.
- 2
Test the parameters
Ask Vector to change each one, check the result rebuilds, and restore it.
Example request Set width to 1200 mm, check that the model rebuilds without errors, then restore the original value.
- 3
Generate variants
Produce a family of sizes as separate files or configurations.
Example request Create versions at 600, 800, and 1000 mm wide and save each one with the width in its file name.
