In this video, we bind a custom componentcomponent that the user creates and uses for creating model objects whose composition the user can modify as a group handle to a plane by using a distance variablevariable used to bind the model object to the object planes or construction planesA distance variable includes a value and a dependency..

This video shows how to create a simple custom componentcomponent that the user creates and uses for creating model objects whose composition the user can modify as a group.
