Parameter types > User defined parameters > User defined object parameters

User defined object parameters can be defined via the selected object’s context menu, which lies within the Tab "Objects". When the menu item Parameter -> Edit user defined parameters is selected (see figure Edit user defined parameters), a dialog box Manage user defined parameters of [object] is opened (see figure Manage user defined parameters).

Figure 183: Manage user defined parameters

This dialog box have two distinct regions. On the dialog box‘s left side, the available object characteristics which are currently inactive along with its category, parameter name and description are provided in the form of a table. On the right side, the selected and activated object parameters are enlisted as “parameter“. The values can be preassigned to the activated object properties in the corresponding fields (except for object selection buttons). Multi-select feature is available for the object parameters on the both side of the dialog box and the selected object parameters can be switched between the two sides using and .

The parameters are grouped under various categories namely; Basic parameters, Documentation, Kinematics, Line balancing and variants, Object handling, and Welding. The Category filter on the top-left corner of the dialog box enable the user to show or hide the required category(s) of parameters.

The current user defined parameters are as shown in the table:

Category	Parameter	Type	Meaning
Basic parameters	Bounding volume adjustment [mm]	Floating-point number	Value to increase or decrease the bounding volume.
Basic parameters	Floor condition	Selection	A parameter that describes the conditions of the floor when walking over the object; used for evaluation purposes.
Documentation	Cost	Floating-point number	Parameter Costs are used to calculate the costs of the respective product or the respective resource. The individual costs and the total cost are displayed in the Objects report (see chapter User interface / Tab "Results" / Objects report). The currency used for this can be set as described in chapter User interface / Menu bar / Options / Settings / User interface.
Documentation	Show measurement label	Checkbox	An attribute to enable or disable the display of object dimensions in the 3D view. Prerequisite for this display is that the switch object measurement labels mode button is set to visible in the 3D settings (see chapter User interface / 3D settings / Documentation). The text size can be adjusted using the parameter text size of measurement labels [mm] defined in 3D viewer in options (see chapter User interface / Menu bar/ Options/ Settings/ 3D viewer).
Documentation	Is workspace area	Checkbox	A parameter to document an object as workspace area.
Documentation	Is storage root	Checkbox	A parameter to document an object as storage root object.
Documentation	Is assembly template	Checkbox	A parameter to document an object as assembly template.
Documentation	Relevant for space requirements	Checkbox	A parameter to define whether this object is relevant for space requirements calculation.
Documentation	Is material location	Checkbox	A parameter to document an object as material location.
Documentation	Is place holder	Checkbox	A parameter to document an object as place holder.
Documentation	Poka yoke task	Checkbox	A parameter to define a task as a poka yoke task.
Kinematics	Sensor assignments	Object	Parameter for connecting sensors with a behavioral object.
Kinematics	Latency [s]	Floating-point number	A time value representing a latency (reaction time).
Kinematics	Speed adjustment (sensor event) [%]	Floating-point number	A percentage value for sensor objects defining the speed adjustment which will be applied, if the sensor is activated
Kinematics	Stopping time [s]	Floating-point number	A time value representing a stopping time.
Kinematics	Rotation DOF for X axis [°]	Floating-point number	A rotation DOF (degree of freedom) which can be used with inverse kinematics functionalities.
Kinematics	Rotation DOF for Y axis [°]	Floating-point number	A rotation DOF (degree of freedom) which can be used with inverse kinematics functionalities.
Kinematics	Rotation DOF for Z axis [°]	Floating-point number	A rotation DOF (degree of freedom) which can be used with inverse kinematics functionalities.
Kinematics	Translation DOF for X axis [mm] / [mm/s]	Floating-point number	A translation DOF (degree of freedom) which can be used with inverse kinematics functionalities.
Kinematics	Translation DOF for Y axis [mm] / [mm/s]	Floating-point number	A translation DOF (degree of freedom) which can be used with inverse kinematics functionalities.
Kinematics	Translation DOF for Z axis [mm] / [mm/s]	Floating-point number	A translation DOF (degree of freedom) which can be used with inverse kinematics functionalities.
Kinematics	Use old motion generator	Checkbox	[only digital models] A parameter which activates the old motion generator from version 2.0.3.1.
Line balancing & variants	Process location	Object	Link to the location of this process.
Object handling	Prevent tilting	Checkbox	Attribute to prevent object tilting during manipulation processes.
Object handling	Helper object(s)	Object	Parameter for adding additional helper object(s) (e.g. tool center point, grab points).
Object handling	Object characteristics	Selection	A parameter to define the characteristics of an object.
Object handling	Object class	Selection	Object class specification for reporting purposes.
Object handling	Operating path	Path	Definition of an operating path (mainly used for actuator objects).
Object handling	Object coupling type	Selection	[NIOSH] An attribute which describes the quality / way this object may be picked and handled.
Object handling	Instability	Selection	Attribute defining an object as unstable.
Object handling	Bulkiness	Checkbox	Attribute defining an object as bulky.
Object handling	Mass of object(s) [kg]	Floating-point number	A value representing the mass of an object in [kg].
Object handling	Hand posture	Selection	A hand posture which should be used to handle an object
Object handling	Hand (posture) percentage [%]	Floating-point number	Percentage value to fine tune the hand posture between open hand (0%) and the defined hand posture (100%).
Welding	Difficult welding spot	Checkbox	Attribute for defining this weld spot as ‘difficult’ (influences weld time determination)
Welding	Add. weld process time [s]	Floating-point number	Additional process time for this weld point (used for weld time determination)

The dialog box can be closed by clicking the button Done. Corresponding to an object in the Objects tab, the active user defined parameters are highlighted.
