Alter Column Offset in Dynamic Block

Hello,

 

I'm trying to make a dynamic rack block with the following editable parameters

 

- Bay Depth

- Bay Width

- Aisle Width

- Number of Bays

 

I can do the first three fine, but I can't get an array's column offset to adapt to the altered Bay Width (aka can't get a rack that has had it's bay width dynamically adjusted from 24" to 30" to array based off that 30" parameter instead of the default input). 

 

I've read around somewhat and it sounds like Dynamic Array Commands are notably neglected by Autodesk, but I wanted to ask just in case. 

 

Does anyone have any suggestions? I have attached the current block for reference.

You cannot dynamically alter the array column offset.  

 

If you have a set number of specific values for the bay width you could make a visibility state for each and a separate array action for each visibility state.

 

If you have a workable limit to the array, you can simulate the variable column offset using visibility states and a double lookup.
