Understanding and utilizing design tables

Through configurations, we were able to create different variations of a particular 3D model. Design tables will also allow us to create different variations of a 3D model. However, unlike directly setting up configurations, design tables will enable us to generate more than one variation at the same time instead of generating them one after the other. In this section, we will cover how to set up design tables and some scenarios in which design tables will give us an advantage over directly setting up configurations.

What are design tables?

Design tables are one method that will enable us to create multiple variations of a specific 3D model at once. Design tables make it easy and efficient to set up different dimensions for lengths and angles. They also allow easy manipulation for suppressing certain features in specific model variations or configurations. The following drawing highlights a simple application of a design table with the...
