   Pinned Parameters

The **Pinned Parameters View** allows the ability to store parameters
that may need to be referenced in **Filters** further down the pipeline.
This feature exists primarily for ease of use.

One possible use case is allowing users to reference parameters from a
**Filter** before or after the current active **Filter** in the
**Pipeline** in order to select values for dependent parameters without
having to click back and forth between multiple **Filters**.

   Cropping A Geometry With Pinned Parameters

Another use case for pinned parameters is when trying to figure out
where to crop a dataset that is being actively visualized in the
Visualization section. It’s possible to pin the relevant cropping
parameter(s) (in this case, *Min Voxel* and *Max Voxel*) and then update
them while still viewing the visualized dataset.
