Model States – Level of Development (LoD)

00:03

When working with inventor model states and inform design,

00:07

there are a few key things we want to be aware of

00:10

with inform design parameter and I property values

00:15

must be identical across all model states.

00:19

Therefore, using model states as configurations

00:22

is not currently a supported informed design workflow

00:27

creating model states to define levels of detail.

00:30

Also referred to as levels of definitions

00:34

with the goal of handing those LO DS to rev.

00:37

It

00:37

is the intended use case for model states with informed design

00:43

before publishing with informed design,

00:45

ensure the primary model state is set active

00:49

and then use the pencil icon to set the

00:51

edit scope to apply edits to all model state members

00:55

and then save your inventor model.

00:59

Once the informed design inventor add in is installed,

01:03

we have access to the logic member edit scope functions that are new to inventor 2024

01:10

to ensure that the informed design published

01:13

tools apply updates to all model states.

01:16

It is important that we include a member edit scope function line

01:20

at the top of each I logic rule.

01:24

At the time of this video's publishing,

01:26

informed design does not support model state

01:29

configurations with different parameter and I property values

01:34

therefore parameter and I property values must be identical

01:39

across all model states in your inventor model,

01:42

in summary, model states used with informed design

01:46

are intended to represent levels of definitions in rev it

01:50

and should not be used as inventor configurations where parameter

01:55

and I property values differ between each model state.

01:59

Before publishing with informed design,

02:02

the primary model state should be set active

02:05

and the model state edit scope should be set for editing all model state members.

02:10

At the top of each logic rule should be

02:13

aligned to call the member edit scope function.
