Got it! Enjoy! The three files are: Mesh Shelf Cabinet - Parent Family Mesh Shelf - Shelf Family, nested into Cabinet Family Mesh - Mesh family, nested into Mesh Shelf Family This was necessary to get the array to work correctly. The parent family has all of the parameters linked to control the shelf and mesh parameters. I had to change 2 dimensions in your original model to be controlled by the "Frame Thickness" parameter in order for the shelf to work correctly. You only need the parent family file to use this family, but I included all three so you can easily see how I constructed the family. The issues was taht the model lines were not actually attaching themselves to a work plane (even though it looked like it), so when you changed the height of the plane the model lines were "associated" with, they didn't move. What I did is made a family with just a model line in it, nest it into the shelf family. This way i can control the height of the family instead of the height of the model plane. When the height of the family changes, the model line has no choice but to move with it. Let me know if you have any issues. Good luck!

You fell victim to one of the classic blunders. The most famous is never get involved in a land war in asia, but only slightly less well known is this! Never go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line! |
