# 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 dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

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

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

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.
