Single Bed - changing frame thk also modifies mattress dimensions

[david]

Hi everyone,

This single bed dynamic block driven by mattress size works fine except when I want to change the frame thickness.

I've been trying a lot of different alternative but couldn't get any satisfying result.

I guess I do something wrong with the stretch selection and/or dimension setting...

If anyone can give me a hint...

PS: At the moment I've removed it from the changeable parameters but similar problem occurs if I change the radius

Could not managed to attach the screencast so I join the mp4...

hi!

I would recommend not to mix parameters with constraints

try attached

Thanks @ojuris 

Your solution works fine. 

The only (very small) draw back is that the insertion point is not staying at the middle of the exterior line of the aft frame panel but I will happily live with this.

I noticed you split the polyline, removed the constrain parameters (as you mentioned in your reply) and added some parameters and actions (stretch and scale). I have to admit I have some difficulties to follow all the  logic and methodology behind those improvements.

I suppose you don't have time to detail those here, if by any chance you know some quality tutorials covering that kind of "subtleties" of dynamic blocks, I'm strongly interested.

Thanks again!

I forgot to move basepoint - correct in attached

may be I make screecast

That'd be awsome if you could do a screencast.

and thanks for the modified block!

I can't attach screencast

[david]

yes, I had the same issue when I wanted to attach mine on my first post.

Thank you very much, I'll be watching it carefully several time I reckon.

Have a good evening.
