How to customize RailingXT components
In order to adapt elements to the chosen dimensions, all the models that make up the railings must be parametric, and be saved in the respective folders of the library.
Assemblies or parts must contain these parameters:
- one named L which defines the depth
- one named W which defines the width
- one named H which defines the height
- one named S which defines the thickness
Furthermore, the position of the anchor will be used as an insertion point.
