This command allows to create a parameter that references a Finishing document. This parameter is useful to create a finishing parameter in the assembly and use it with a finishing relay parameter on each in place part. Then you just have to change this parameter in the assembly and this finishing will be applied on each in place part.

Creation stages / Use:

Select Tools > Parameters > Other Parameters > Finishing Parameter... command from the drop-down menu.

1. Enter the name of the parameter and its description.

2. Enter a description if needed.

3. Select a finishing category in the drop-down list.

4. Select a finishing document from the list of open or referenced finishing documents.

5. Validate the creation of the parameter with the button.

Modifications / Additional information:

A finishing parameter can then be defined as a driver in a family document in order to modify the finishing of the component when included.

To do this, after creating the finishing parameter, use the Material and Coating command, uncheck No finishing, select the Parameter mode and select the name of the finishing parameter from the drop down list.

Then, from the entity tree of the family document, simply drag the name of the finishing parameter from the Generic folder to the Drivers folder.
