Table Leg Material

We want to calculate the material volume of the part »TableLeg«. We therefore reuse already defined properties provided by the base solution.

Property Equivalent table dimension
ExtSideA TableLegLength
ExtSideB TableLegWidth
ExtSideC TableLegHeight

Repeat the previous steps of »TableTopMaterial« to define the properties »MaterialShapeExtensionPoint« and »ExtSide(A-C)« for »TableLegMaterial« (similar to chapter Define properties for »TableTopMaterial«). You can also copy these properties from the resource »TableTopMaterial« to paste them in »TableLegMaterial«.

Note

Please make sure to use »TableLeg« in the formulas of the properties »ExtSide(A-C)«.

 

For better transparency:

To get a better overview which »ExtSide(A-C)« corresponds to which table dimension, we add the following table group.

 

Insert and define property group »TableModel«

  1. Click in the Properties view.
  2. In the ribbon, click on Property Group to insert a new property group.

    Alternative: Right-click in the Properties view ► Property Group.

  3. Define the details of the property group in the Details view:
    4. Name Value
    Internal Name TableModel
    Label (en) Table Model
    Label (de) Tischmodell
    Highlighted
    Expanded
    		  If required, you can define more localizations for »Label«, e.g. in French (fr), Japanese (ja) and Russian (ru) - as defined and provided by the base solution.
