How parameters refer to dimensions

In EngView, parameters represent dimensions. This means that by changing the value of a parameter, you change the distance that the parameter represents. When you use a parametric template from the EngView Parametric Library, you modify the initial parameter values that come with the template with your own. This way, you create a new structure without changing the template.

Learning how parameters link to distances is central to understanding how template resizing works. In relation to this, it is important to know:

• How parameters represent distances and what you occurs when you change the value of a parameter.
• How parameters link with each other, and how changing the value of a parameter automatically changes the value of another parameter or multiple parameters, without you even becoming aware of it.
