Edit multiple feature parameters at once

Edit multiple feature parameters at once

Edit multiple feature parameters at once

(OP)
Suppose you have created 10 Thicken features (this is a logo where each letter is a thicken feature...because you cannot thicken multiple disjoint faces). Afterwards, you want to change all of their Offset 1 values.

Can this be done in one step instead of editing each Thicken feature individually? I assumed you could select all of the Thicken features in the tree and modify their common parameters in the Details panel, but that's not possible.

RE: Edit multiple feature parameters at once

If there's a chance that you're going to iterate the thickness, write an Expression and assign that name to all the Thicken Features. Granted, you will need to do it at least one time manually, but after that editing all of them at once is as easy as editing the original expression. In fact, if you create the master Expression first, before you create the Thicken Features, just use the Expression name for the thicken parameter when you create the features and therefore the common value will already be set for you when and if you decide that you need to start tweaking the value of the thickness.

RE: Edit multiple feature parameters at once

Select all thicken features, RMB in the part navigator - Edit Parameters
NX will then present a dialog with all variables for all selected features.

And, you can here sync all the thicknesses to a common expression .

Thanks guys for the answers, I guess I'll have to start planning ahead a little more.
