Dynamic Block Move + Stretch Actions

[marcos.andre.saraiva]

Hello,

I do not know what I'm doing wrong but someone can help me ( please see attached).

I created a block and I want the holes to always be divided into equal parts as shown in the drawing.

The ones in the middle I can, but the others I can not, what should I do?

Best regards,

Use a stretch action for each set of holes.  Adjust the stretch action's distance modifier in properties so that it is equal to the ratio (distance from parameter base point to holes)/(total length of parameter).  That ratio is obvious for something kept in the middle ( = 1/2 = 0.5) but holds true for other spacings as well.

While images can assist in explanation they are no substitute for attaching the actual block file.  Always attach the block file when asking for assistance.

When I open your file, the dynamic stretch does not do anything.  When I go into block editor, none of the little 'nodes' are present in the block.  Do you have an explanation?

Anyway, this screencast would show how I would create a stretch that kept multiple objects evenly spaced while maintaining the offset from the ends of the block.  If the offset should also stretch proportionately then let me know and I will show that.

I forgot to attach the screencast.  I could not use your block because it would not work as I explained in my last post.  Anyway, here's the screencast.  It should show everything you need to know to adjust your own block:
