The Motion-Dimension dialog-box specifies the Base-Value of a Motion-Part.
The Base-Value is the position of the Part when a wire is not connected to its input-connector.
The motion-values at its input-connector control the motion of the Motion-Part relative to the Base-Value.
Thus, when the Motion-Dimension FB does not have a wire at its input-connector, the position of the Motion-Part is specified by the Base-Value parameter.
