Component Size Parameter Descriptions

I've done cats and specs work in PDMS but am just now starting to use Plant 3D. So far, there is quite a difference. This is leading to my questions on the parameters. I'm used to being able to look at the attributes of a peice of the geometry and see what parameters are controlling it. Is there a way to do that in Plant 3D? If not, then how in Plant 3D are you able to tell what the size parameters are actually adjusting? I know you can look a the little picture but it is hard to tell what exactly they are going to. For Example, on a tee, I can't tell if D1 is going to the id or the od.

 

Also, is the easiest way to modify an entire catalog to use the spec editor or the catalog builder?

 

Thanks...

If you hover your mouse over the parameter, it will tell you what its in relation to.

As for modifying the catalog, it just depends on how many items you want to change.

Thank you, that helps. However, L1 says that it is "Side Length 1" but wouldn't the side length really be L1 + I1?
