Dynamic Block - Stretch and Array

dan4S4AC — Wed, 03 Jul 2024 20:02:12 GMT

I'm trying to make a dynamic block that allows me to stretch the block to any opening and it will infill studs on 600mm ctrs. I have got it working pretty well but the last array doesn't appear which means the last stud distance ends up being over 600mm. How can I ensure the last stud appears?

Take a look at how I did this block.

Hi,

Yes, I see how that one works and can replicate that by tying a move polyline to the block. However, that only seems to work if you use increments.

I want to be able to do a block that can stretch to any width for example 1923mm. Whereby the first studs are all at 600mm and then the last one is ~123mm. What the block is currently doing is making the first studs all be 600mm ctrs but the last one will be at ~723mm. This is too far apart. How do I get the array to fill in the last one.

It seems to be making the 600mm ctrs array as the minimum spacing rather than the maximum.

@dan4S4AC,

I've created the behavior you want, however, the width dimension isn't correct as I had to move the array parameter's start point to the left to get it working as intended.

What I've done seems a bit jank, surely there's a better way to do this, but unfortunately, I haven't come to it yet.
