Hi all, I've created a mechanical grille for a project that has a parametric array with constraints for # of louvers, as well as spacing of said louvers. Inside the family, everything updates as expected, however when placed inside a project, the family can only have one spacing type. I have one grille type that is 18x6 with a spacing of 1/4" and another that was 24x36 with a spacing of 1/2". The 18x6 calculates the # of louvers by using the 1/4" value, however still spaces them at 1/2", so that they fall outside of the bounds of the grille itself. If I edit the family, change the active type to 18x6 and reload, it takes preference, however the 24x36 now calculates at 1/2" spacing, but places the louvers at 1/4", thereby creating large gaps at the top and bottom of the louver. Tried making parameters both types and instances to correct the issue, no dice. Never had this problem with formula driven parametric arrays before, a solution would be much appreciated. Family is attached for your experimentation.
