XY Array Box Set

m_storry — Wed, 20 Dec 2023 22:37:01 GMT

Hi,

I'm trying to create an XY Array using Box Set. I want to array the blocks X & Y but stretch a block on the Y axis, please see the attached file. I would like to stretch the 'Yellow' sections in the Y axis and array on the X axis. Hope this makes sense.

Thanks,

Mark.

Need more info. Uploading a file with what you have now and a few examples of what you want it to look like in a few different scenarios would be great. Otherwise we have to build from scratch and start guessing.

Hi Mark,

I would like to pattern the racking X & Y but pattern the yellow sections on the X but stretch on the Y.

Please see attached file.

Thanks,

This is the best I could do. It kinda works .... has an extra grip to make the track array work properly ... but it has some behavior issues. I think its the mixing of constraints with parameters that's causing it. A separate parameter and stretch action for the track could eliminate the need for constraints but it would be another grip to move.

EDIT: I tried with the constraints removed and the extra grip and its more stable. The only minor glitch was stretching the tracks after the tracks have been arrayed. A simple grab of the tray array grip fixes it.

Thanks Mark,

I'll see if I can tweak it............
