DIMENSIONS
Dimensional transformation is the most com-
mon parameter throughout all AtFAB objects,
and often makes the most obvious impact. The
dimensional definition customizes the length,
width, and/or height of furniture objects.
Dimensional transformations are applied in dif-
ferent ways to different kinds of pieces. To sim-
plify the 5-30 and 90-Minute Chairs, we kept
transformation only in width. In the case of the
One to Several Table, length and width require a
greater range of variability than height that only
serves seated or standing uses.
DETAILS
AtFAB cut files are set up with fastener holes
that accommodate a standard fastener size. A
parametric definition enables you to globally
adjust this diameter to suit a range of fastener
diameters. Parametric definitions for other
details vary among AtFAB pieces to comple-
ment or add function to the design. In the One
to Several Table, the parametric tool offers an
optional grommet hole for wire management.
