Can you have Instance Parameters "nested" in Type Parameters

[Matthew_sS5]

Here's the situation: I am trying to build a family for various sizes of dining tables. I would like each size (Type Parameter) to have its own options for how many chairs and what sides those chairs appear on (Instance Parameter). Is it possible to build a family so that only the chairs associated with the selected size table will show and can then be turned on or off as needed.

Please let me know if this is possible or if I would need to build an individual family for each table size.

Thank you.

Hi Matthew,


I see 2 options
First, Place chairs as nested familys in the dining table family and have them switchable with visibility parameters (type driven since you would have a nr. of chairs per type.

second
you could build an array of the chairs per side of the table and have the nr in the array calculated nr_chairs


Is this a bit what you'd like to achieve?
