Parametric beams

are produced using 3D Audio-Beamforming. You can use the HOLOPLOT Plan interface to create the beams, and steer the sound waves in a specified direction, allowing you to control where the audio beam points to in 3D space. A Parametric Beam is described by a set of parameters that geometrically define how its dispersion pattern is shaped. To add a Parametric Beam to your array, you must first add an array using the **Create Array** option in the toolbar. Next, click **Create Parametric Beam** in the contextual menu. The properties of the beam can be adjusted in the Properties Panel in the window on the right. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com. ## 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.holoplot.com/holoplot-plan/working-with-beams/creating-a-parametric-beam.md?ask=&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.
