Add Parameter-Control FB

Why should I use a Parameter-Control FB?

Use a Parameter-Control FB to:

•control a dimension of a sketch-element

•control an Extrusion Depth of an MD-Solid*

•control an Extrusion-Offset of an MD-Solid*

Apply a Parameter-Control FB for Mechanism-Synthesis, animations with more realistic effects.

* When a Parameter-Control FB controls the Extrusion-Depth or Extrusion-Offset of an Extrusion that has many facets, the model is slow to cycle.
