Parametric Exercise

Build a simple table using parametric relationships.

The Parameters

Primary dimension (P) = 6 units

Derived Dimensions

• Table width = P × 1.5 = 9
• Table depth = P × 1.0 = 6
• Table height = P × 1.2 = 7.2
• Top thickness = 0.3 (constant)
• Leg size = 0.5 × 0.5 (constant)

Positions

• Legs positioned 0.5 units from edges

Tasks

1. 1Create table top

- Box: 9 × 0.3 × 6
- Position: Y = 7.05 (height - half thickness)

1. 2Create 4 legs

- Each: 0.5 × 7 × 0.5
- Position Y = 3.5 (half leg height)

Leg positions (X, Z):
- (4, 2.5) - front right
- (-4, 2.5) - front left
- (4, -2.5) - back right
- (-4, -2.5) - back left

1. 3Name your objects

- TableTop
- Leg_FR, Leg_FL, Leg_BR, Leg_BL

Why This Matters

If the primary dimension changes to P = 8:

• Width = 12


• Depth = 8


• Height = 9.6


• Recalculate positions...

Everything scales proportionally!

Success Criteria

• At least 5 objects (top + 4 legs)
• Proper proportional relationships
