Parametric MvPart: Return Grille
I need help!
First off does anyone have a working return and/or exhaust grille parametric part they'd like to share?
I am attempting to make a parametric part for our return grilles. I have 2 issues (that I'm aware of) that are throwing me off. I will attach a zip file with what I have so far.
Issue #1: How can I change my insertion point?? I can't figure out how/where to change my insertion point. It's not even on the object. Most annoying. I would like it on the bottom left hand corner.
Issue #2: My symbolic view is not showing up correctly. I need a diagonal line that goes from one corner to another, but stops where the diameter of the duct attaching will be. Right now it shows up correctly for the 12x12 6in diameter neck piece (the size that I drew it to be based off of), but I can't get it to show up correctly for the rest of them. Is there some sort of constraint I can add in here? When I try it states that the points are not in the same work plane...of course not...I'm trying to link a top plane view with a symbolic plane view. I'm sure there is a flaw in my logic here, but I don't know what other method/constraint to use.
NOTE: I have this set up for square grilles only. For some reason I can not get a square root function, therefore I had to solve the equation with both sides equal to each other so I could then just type in the sqrt (2) as the numeric value * length of the side.
Any assistance would be most appreciated!!!
