Get top left linear grip to move when I move the bottom left linear grip

[Ed Jobe]

A couple of things I saw in your block.

Are you talking about mine or his?

@madcadder, I didn't use a Distance4. I just modified the Distance1 stretch action. I modified its selection. I selected the two circles on the left and the Distance1 parameter, which selected both grips. The objects selected were not the same. You had 3, the top grip and two circles. I have 4, both grips and the two circles.

A couple of things I saw in your block. Your Distance1 parameter has a stretch action that is windowing the grip for the parameter. The is not necessary. The grip is modifying the parameter. The action follows the parameter grip. I just deleted that action and tested the block. No change in functionality.

Your Distance2 has a similar stretch action. You can remove the Distance2 parameter (the dimension looking object) from the selection set for that action.

I haven't reviewed much more than that. HTH.

Good to know. Originally, there were 3 circles per side, but I guess I had a weird combo of stretch and array because the 2nd to top circle when stretched doubled.
Whatever I did on round 2 to fix it left out the top most circle.
And by round 4-5 it was where it was and I guess capturing the grip was part of it, but I see that led to other issues.

Most of my dynamic blocks where always simple, needing nothing more than 3-10 visibility states. I've done a few with simple stretches in one direction, but this is the first to combine multiple stretching directions and an array and making it all work together.
Such a simple thing... Shelf pin holes. And it turned into that many options. Kind of crazy.

I'm doing something wrong, or maybe not doing enough...
In the attached block I'm trying to get the top left linear grip to move when I work with the bottom left linear grip.

I haven't gotten as for as adding a "Distance 4", but it will do the same thing as "Distance 3", just on the other side.
It will have to start at the right side of "Distance 2" and move the right side circles toward the middle with the same parameters as "Distance 3".
If you see anything that will trip me up please let me know and advise.

Thanks

A good habit to develop is naming parameters. It makes it easier to read further down the road. You can also name actions. It's also easier to name any element as soon as we create them. Sometimes, we need to go back and add grips to the selection of an action.
