Expose Transformation Parameters as Mapping Parameters

After you add a reusable transformation to a mapping, you can expose the transformation parameter as a mapping parameter. When you expose a reusable transformation parameter as a mapping parameter, you create a mapping parameter from the transformation parameter. The mapping parameter has the same name and type as the transformation parameter. The mapping parameter uses the instance value of the reusable transformation parameter.

You can click

Expose as Mapping Parameter

one time for a transformation parameter. If you click

Expose as Mapping Parameter

and the transformation parameter is already bound to a mapping parameter, the Developer tool does not change the mapping parameter. The Developer tool does not create another mapping parameter, and it does not update the mapping parameter default value. After you create a mapping parameter, multiple objects might use the mapping parameter. If you need to change the mapping parameter default value, change the value in the mapping or change it at run time.

Open the mapping. Select the mapping in the Outline view.

The

Parameters

tab appears in the

Properties

view.
