This document describes the types of rules that can be applied to models that have advanced feature parameters captured.
Driving advanced feature dimensions increases model generation time. Where possible capture feature dimensions (distances, numbers and angles) as dimensions rather than an advanced feature parameter.
During model generation captured dimensions are driven before captured advanced feature parameters. If the advanced feature parameter has also been captured as a dimension the value being driven into the advanced feature parameter will override the captured dimension.
| Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| EqualSpacing | True/False | Sets whether the instances are equally spaced |
| ReverseDirection | True/False | Sets whether the direction of rotation around the axis should be reversed |
| SkippedItemArray | Pipe delimited string i.e. "1|-7|5|-54" | Set the list of instances to skip. (Setting this to 0 will clear the selection and no items will be skipped). |
| Spacing | Angle | Sets the spacing between instances of the circular pattern feature |
| Total Instances | Integer | Sets the total number of instances in this circular pattern |
| GeometryPattern | True/False | Set the feature to pattern only the faces and edges of the original feature to decrease creation time |
| PropagateVisualProperties | True/False | Set the pattern to propagate colours, textures and cosmetic thread data to pattern instances |
