Concepts
Parametric Component is a conceptual framework designed to dynamically express intrinsic properties (such as volume, shape, etc.) and configurable options. Data is structured in a component tree where multiple parent-child relationships exist between nodes. The root node of this tree can possess a variety of parameters, which are inherited by its child nodes. The usage of parameters received from a parent is specified in the form of metadata, called as a Parametric-Recipe, which is applied to the Parametric Component Composition corresponding to each edge in the tree. This approach allows every node within the tree to support flexible and dynamic designs in response to changes in the parent’s parameters. The process of constructing this tree and defining the parameter and recipe data is what constitutes the design of a Parametric Component.

Parametric Component also follows the same relationships defined in Sale - Component - Modeling. It can be best understood as an advanced version of the basic Component.
Parametric Component Tree
Below is a guide on how to create your own parametric component using the API described in the sub-document.
This guide assumes that the API provides methods for creating components, setting parameters, and defining recipes 🚀
Note
Creating parametric components can be very challenging when using via API.
