After adding the parameters, click [OK] to finish.


[3] Select the part at the Intellishape level (highlighted in yellow), right-click, and choose [Edit Cross-Section].


[4] Go to the [Sketch] tab and select [Smart Dimension] to create dimensions in the cross-section.


[5] Double-click the created dimension.
In the dialog that appears, enter = (equals sign).


[6] Right-click on the scene and click [Parameters].


[7] Click the Parameter Name you want to assign.
The formula will be automatically entered in the dialog.


[8] Click [OK] to assign the parameter. The dimension is now parameterized.
