Main Parameters
Main Parameters are the curated values you want to expose as the important controls/configuration surface for the component and its snapshots/export behaviour.
- Where to find it
- Parameter Graph snapshot/main-parameter area
- When to use it
- Presenting a clean user-facing set of parameters instead of every internal construction value

Step by step
- Build and verify the graph connections first.
- Choose the values that represent meaningful user decisions.
- Keep internal helper/construction values out of the main set unless users truly need them.
- Use those main parameters when creating and comparing snapshots.
Design principle
Main Parameters should describe the component in user language: overall length, nominal size, thickness, count or option—not internal cutter offsets unless those are intentionally public.
Keep in mind
- A smaller main-parameter set produces clearer snapshot tables and easier tester workflows.
