    Default Need help with dimension parameters

    Hello,

    I'm having troubles getting this family from the manufacturer. So I created a quick & dirty pipe accessory family.
    It's not perfect or close to it. But it will do.

    I'm able to add the "A" dimensions Could somebody please help & add dimensions "B, C, D & E" for the different sizes.

    Based on a very quick review:
    - you have way too few reference planes / lines
    - you have way too many features, almost none of that detail will be visible in typical plan views - that should be your target detail wise

    It looks like you are relatively new to building complex flexible families. Keep at it, ask more questions like this, watch videos from Autodesk University (if you can). If you want a flexible family, I recommend starting over with reference planes and lines laid out with the flexibility tested before you begin adding any geometry.

    If you want quick and dirty, just save as to a new family for different sizes and stretch the bits needed.

    Joel,


    Yes I am very new to building complex flexible families. I might do the quick & dirty way for now. Save families with different sizes.
    Thank you
