Hello
I would like to use a global variable (which I have already defined in "Equations" and linked to a .txt document) in surface functions of the "Extend Surface" type.
Thank you in advance.
Q.
Hello
In some cases, you have to create the function, then double click on this function in the 3D window (EDIT: or on the function in the creation tree): there appear all the variables of this sketch or function, and you can double click on a value to display the floating dialog box (as for any dimension in the 3D) in which you use the global variables starting by typing "=" or by clicking on the corresponding symbol.
Is that understandable?
EDIT: for this particular case of a surface, you have to double click on the function in the creation tree!
Hello
I have indeed created the function as well as the global variable I want to use, but no floating dialog box appears when I put the "=" sign (while it does appear when I want to modify a simple side that is not in a function..).
So I told myself that a specific manipulation must be done when I want to integrate a global variable into a function.
Thank you for your answer!

When you click once on the function in the creation tree it doesn't make the value appear in the 3D?
And when you double click?
And when this value appears and you double click on it, it doesn't work?
Can you put a screen print of the box you have?
When I edit the function, I try to put ="nom_variable_globale" but it doesn't work and no floating dialog box that offers me to insert a variable appears when I enter only I sign =.
Ditto, when I click on the function, the dimension appears can be modified, but I can't insert the globage variable (which I can insert in a classic dimension when I create a sketch for example...). You can see this with the Shift2 image.

Otherwise, when you leave the mouse on the side, the name appears (D1@fonction1 style).
And you can use this name in global variables!
It's true that I hadn't thought of this solution. I'll try it on Monday!
Thank you very much:D
