Array with Independent Base Scale

[m_rogoff]

Hi, I have a block that arrays an object (yellow dot) that is scaled with an independent based scale action. Once it's arrayed and I adjust the scale (middle lookup grip, "#X Vert") the spacing of the array gets skewed. How do I fix this?

Also, I have a lookup at the top and bottom of the block. These are not visible on the block and I can't figure out why.

All help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!!

Instead of having the arrays that go UP and the arrays that go DOWN on the same linear parameter, you need to split them to two parameters (one each direction) and you also need to add the array actions to the scale actions.  See screencast.

This demonstrates the issue in a more simplified manner.

Thank you so much Libbya!! This is great and functioning as desired.

Do you know why the lookup menus aren't displaying? See attached pic

The lookups are not showing up because they are 'read only'.  They are read only because you have more than one input value per row.  A single lookup with a read only table cannot affect its input properties (parameters on input table) so there is no reason for the grip to show up.  If you want those to actually be selection inputs, then you need them to alter their own individual input parameters and then have it all come together in the double lookup.  You also do not have the visibility states added for one corner and one end.  See screencast.

Thanks so much for your help, much appreciated!!!

You mentioned that I am missing a couple visibility states. There are some end/corners that aren't working, but I've triple checked my vis states and inputs and cannot find the problem. Could you please point that out for me? Thanks again!

You are missing all of the states with one corner and one end.  If I use your visibility naming convention then you are missing: Reinf OFF EC, Reinf OFF CE, Horiz 8"oc CE, Horiz 8"oc EC, etc...

Got it, thank you!
