Hi,

I'm trying to create a bar grille family, I want to be able to set the height of the bars in the grille and their height from the ground.

The bars themselves are arrayed, and the array is a parameter too.

But, I recieve an error everytime I try to set the height, and it seems to be because the objects I'm setting the height to are part of an array.

What am I missing???

I've attached the file.

Cheers.

Sorry for the delay but only now i see this but about the problem is solved, i just create a Generic model where i give it some  parameters like W1, W2 and H (height), then i nested that generic family into your family, to adapt the Height of the G.M. to your family just click on that little button like you can see in the image attached and select your height (Bar Height), then just array and lock the other bar, done.
