RE: add or create new equipment with parameters
Marc Thomas
Your existing 3D model could be turned into a Compound Cell. When creating a Compound Cell 2D symbology can be added to provide the appropriate level of 2D graphics for the drawing output. Conmpound Cells are not parametric, a range of sizes would need…
