Custom Sizes for Fan Powered VAV

[jwongmep]

By default, the Series Fan Powered VAV Boxes do not have the outlet sizes I need. What do you usually do to get the right sizes from the VAV Boxes? I'm trying not to do the Parametric Part Wizard since I want to show more details than just the box.

This is what I tried but didn't work: wblock the part into a new block, then BEDIT(to modify the properties of the block, then make Block-based part out of it) but when I'm in BEDIT I can't explode the block to change the outlet size. Tried the same thing in model space and still didn't work. What do I need to do to get it working?

Any help is appreciated and thanks.

and btw, is there a way to get AUGI Forums to send me an email whenever someone replies? Thanks.

John,

You will need to edit the Parametric Part with the Content Editor (CAD Manager > Content Editing > Content Builder). This can be a pain, so make a backup copy and remove sharp objects from your desk.

You may also want to look at using mvparts instead.
