Parametric Cell Node
The Parametric Cell Node allows you to extensively reuse your parametric content by placing parametric models as parametric cells. The node has the following three techniques: ByExistingCell, FromLibrary and FromLibraryList.
The following is an example of
FromLibrary Technique of the Parametric Cell
node.
- Create Variables, Variations and Expressions of a model in the Variables dialog.
- Open a file, for example Variables.dgn that has a model drawn in it.
- Create a cell or attach an existing cell file. For example Window.cel file.
- Draw a line in the Design Model and place the co-ordinate system nodes on the line.
- Add a Parametric Cell node to the Graph.
- Select the FromLibrary technique in the Parametric Cell node.
- Define the CellName in the Parametric Cell node.
- Give CoordinateSystem input in the Parametric Cell node by selecting the placed co-ordinate system nodes on the line.
- Apply Variation from Parametric Cell node to the model.
After applying variations, the model size changes according to the given variation .
