And that'll be something that's really useful as we move this project towards CNC routing. In this video, I'm continuing where I left off, so before we go any further here, let's just take those components we made in the last video, select them, right-click on the canvas and group them, and let's give this group a title. We'll call this Calculate Rows. So, to calculate our Y offsets, we could start very simply just with a multiplication component. And I can multiply the range of rows that we made in the last video, and that's something I'm setting with the slider, way at the beginning of my definition over here with my Shelf Parameters. So I want that Shelf Depth Slider. So I'll grab that output and then I'm clicking and holding while I zoom out with my mouse scroll wheel, and that just helps get to the other end of the…
