# Function Example 3

**Example : Bolted Plate 3**

Bolted Plate 2 definition works, but we get to write so many lines of parametric definition just for 2 plates a project may contain hundreds, even thousands of these plates. A better way to handle this is to define the steel plate object once as template and use that single definition many times throughout the project.

The 3D view of the project does not change. In fact it is the exact same model except I made the vertical plate thickness twice as much as the horizontal plate. In this case, we will do the parametric plate definition once and then use that definition to define two plates in space.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.openbrim.org/developers/paramml-developer-guide/function-example/function-example-3.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
