The reference lines were dimensioned with equality constraints based on the reference
planes defining the origin. Overall dimensions were placed and associated with the W0
parameter (Figure 8.76). W0 is shorthand for the width dimension on the 0-level.

When you select a reference point, you have the option to associate any of the point’s
properties with any of the family parameters developed for this conceptual mass. This is done
by choosing the small button in the Properties palette next to each property value. For each
