Constructing a parameterized L shaped staircase

Anonymous — Fri, 03 Mar 2017 16:06:23 GMT

I need some help with constructing a "smart" L-shaped staircase model which can be automatically updated by few parameters.

I think I understand the basic concepts of parameters in sketching (including user defined parameters from the Modify menu).

Let me first show you what I'm after:

I want this model to be defined by only 5 variable parameters:

- Number of Steps first stretch

- Number of Steps second stretch (after the L bend)

- Width of the staircase steps (1m)

- Depth of the staircase steps (30cm)

- Height of the staircase steps OR total height of the staircase (both are fine with me.)

Obviously, I want to do this such that I can just edit any of these 5 variables afterwards and get an updated model.

So far, I figured I can create my 2D "top" sketch starting out from the square and using rectangle-pattern repeat for both "legs" of the L shaped staircase:

But how do I now do the extrusion utilising my last parameter? (StepHeight or TotalStaircaseHeight)

And how do I do this such that I can change the number of steps afterwards and get an updated model?

Essentially, I need something like an "incremental" extrude for each element of the rectangle pattern - does such at thing exist?

Or is there a better approach to this problem?

Any Pro-Help would be appreciated.
