Double Lookup drop down showing all visibilities (only want applicable visibilities to show)

[will-vaughan]

Hey all,

I am looking to create a block where I can split several types & length of fixings into 2 seperate lookup lists:

Ideally I would like the first to list the fixing material and whether it is a standard hex head or a molded head (coloured) fixing, and a second list that allows me to select a fixing length applicable to that fixing type.

Below are a list of the 4 types I am trying to test it out on: 

1. Carbon steel hex head fixing

2. Carbon steel molded head fixing

3. Stainless steel hex head fixing

4. Stainless steel molded head fixing.

Each of these groups have several fixing lengths I would like to select from. (see attached .DWG)

On the attached file I have started to attempt to create lookups for these 2 lists however when you select a material and hex/molded head type, rather than the fixing lengths specific to that type appearing, every visibility state I have create shows up on the second drop down, albeit only the ones I have set actually work.

Hopefully the above makes sense! and any help resolving this would be greatly welcomed.

Hello,

Wow. That is a dense block. I think you should go back to the drawing board with your design. 

Ideally what you need is 2 visibility state options. 1 to choose the head type, the 2nd to choose the bolt type. Then using the linear dimension parameter & stretch action be able to adjust the bolt to a list of dimension lengths.
