Nodes
Value / Parameter node
A Value node creates or represents a named export parameter and provides its value through an output socket to object properties or other graph logic.
- Where to find it
- Parameter Graph toolbar > + Value
- When to use it
- User-facing dimensions and reusable named values such as P1, diameter, length or spacing

Step by step
- Click + Value.
- Rename the generated parameter to a meaningful name when appropriate.
- Set its default/current value.
- Click the output socket, then the compatible target input socket.
Parameter model
A Value node supplies a named parameter that can be exposed in the exported component when configured as a public control.
Direct connection first
For simple parametric dimensions, connect Value directly to the target property. Add Math only when the target should be derived from one or more expressions.
Types
Parameters can represent numeric/length-style values and imported/external parameter types. Choice/list-style inputs should use the allowed options provided by the source definition.
Keep in mind
- Use descriptive names before taking many snapshots; snapshot rows are easier to understand when the main parameter names already express design intent.
