Input/Output Parameters Tab

Define the parameters that can be specified when the subassembly is used in a corridor model.

If a property is defined as an input parameter, the user can either accept the default value, or enter a custom value to suit the design.

Note: The default Side parameter cannot be deleted. The Default Value of the Side parameter is Right.
Name Specifies a user-defined name for the parameter. The name must not begin with a numeral or contain spaces or special characters.

This name can be entered in place of a numeric value in the point geometry properties. This enables the user to either accept the Default Value, or enter a specific value.

Type Specifies the type of parameter:
  • Integer
  • Double
  • String
  • Grade
  • Slope
  • Yes/No
  • Side
  • Superelevation
Direction Specifies whether the current parameter is an input parameter or an output parameter.
Default Value Specifies the default parameter value when the subassembly is inserted into an assembly. The user can change the default value either through AutoCAD Properties palette, the Subassembly Parameters dialog box, or the Assembly Properties dialog box.
Display Name Specifies the parameter name, as it appears in the AutoCAD Civil 3D Properties palette tooltip. The Display name must not begin with a numeral.
Description Specifies the parameter description, as it appears in the AutoCAD Civil 3D Properties palette tooltip.
