Nodes
Port and Port Recipe nodes
Port nodes represent existing Designer ports. Port Recipe nodes expose a reusable recipe-style definition for port-related inputs/outputs in the graph.
- Where to find it
- Add/select Designer ports in Parameter Graph
- When to use it
- Parametric connection-point positions, directions and reusable port logic

Step by step
- Create/verify the port in Designer first.
- Add the port/recipe node to Parameter Graph.
- Connect compatible values to its exposed inputs.
- Preview and verify both the port position and direction in Designer before export.
Geometry relationship
A port's usefulness depends on both its point and direction. Parameter logic that changes the component should keep the port relationship consistent with the final geometry.
Keep in mind
- Use Port Tools in Designer for geometric placement; use the graph when that placement/recipe must follow parameter values.
