im trying to create a dynamic block that stretches multiple rectangles

[Anonymous]

Im building wooden cases and i want to find a quicker way to lay out the panels of the box. Im trying to find a way to input my length, width, and depth and the block make the adjustments for me on all panels. Is this possible with the block editor?

I can certainly see how dynamic behavior would be very helpful.  You might have a fair amount of time into development of the dynamic block, though, and the time might not pay off in the long run.  How often are you changing the dimensions?  If frequently then it could certainly be worthwhile.  You could set it up so that the prime dimensions are adjustable and all items whose dimensions rely on those prime dimensions update accordingly.

Yes i change it every time a build a new case. These panel layouts go into my quote and then get sent to our cnc router.  I also thought about simplifying it by making the cut out cavities and holes by having them removable in the visibility state.

Here is an example screencast.  You could get much more involved but I wanted to show a simple demonstration of a single dimension change affecting multiple items.  You could also use visibility states for common layout changes and have those adjust according to input dimensions in a similar manner.  If you are adjusting similar layouts frequently then it could certainly be worthwhile.
