Summary and best practices
- [Instructor] So in this chapter, let's go ahead and review what we've learned regarding parameters and how to use them. We started out with a simple plate with four holes in it, and, by working on this plate, we've learned how to create and use parameters in models and how to rename them and change them. We also then added some equations so that, depending on changes that we made in our part, for example, if we changed the length of the part, the holes would automatically update and know exactly where they need to be to keep all of our spacing consistent. Then we went ahead and added user parameters because we found out that there was nowhere that we could store the overall spacing between our first hole and our last hole, which was definitely information that we needed in order to get the right calculation so that our holes behaved the way that we needed them to. And then we went ahead and we saw how the ceiling function helped us where we needed to ensure that we had an integer…
