very nice tutorial. parametric creation of families is very powerful.
THAT TUTORIAL SAVE A LOT OF TIME. THANKS
Nice Tutorial.
Is there a way to take the left over length, should the array distance not divide equally, and divide such that the beginning and end space of the arrayed object is the same?
i have a question about arrays and i cant seem to figure it out. i'm trying to make a simple 2-d parametric screw where you can pull the end of the screw to make it longer and the ribs of the screw will continue as the screw gets longer. i cant seem to figure out how to do this. any ideas?
dis was very important...esp with the makin of my traditional cornices...with varying size n distances between them...now i can just change the properties value n change it according to design....thnxs a tonn man!
With one small difference, this was EXACTLY what I was looking for. The only difference I had was that my bracket started on the end, so it sometimes came up one short. To correct this, I changed my formula to read (Length + 0'-2"/0'-4"). My brackets needed to be 4" apart where in this example it was 6".
Thanks for the awesome tutorial. You rock.
Oops, correction. My formula actually read (Length + 0' 2")/0' 4".
A question about arrays-
Once I make an array parameter, the ability to change the length of the array group (perpendicular to the line) without making a new family is lost. Is there a away to make this an instance parameter as well, even though the array is grouped?
thanks!
