Stud partition dynamic block

[j.fentonGG8W2]

I am trying to create a stud partition dynamic block that can have varying lengths and widths – see attached file.

Generally, the block works but the partition is to be insulated and I am using a hatch to indicate this.

The hatch needs to be scaled to maintain its look as either the width or length of the partition change. The initial distance multiplier for objects associated with this scaling is 6, (600/100mm as drawn within the block). However, following a change in the width or length of the block this scaling changes i.e. 750/250mm = 3. Therefore, whenever the length or width of the partition is changed again the scaled insulation hatch and associated objects do not correlate.

Does anyone have an idea of how this can be solved to maintain the relationship between the scaled hatch and associated objects over multiple changes?

Thanks!

Can you show us (draw)  an example how the block should look after changing its dimensions from 600/100 to 750/250 please?

Thanks for coming back to me Jurgen. An example of my issue is attached.

Why are you using SCALE on the stud width?

If you only want to make the block wider use stretch, as scale is scaling your partition length which is stretching your hatch out of the area

If the hatch is not scaled then it is shown as attached. Thanks.

Would you post please the source (the .pat file) of the Hatch "batt-insul"? 

Thanks

[j.fentonGG8W2]

Attached. For some reason, I couldn't upload the .pat file so have changed the file extension to .txt

Thanks again.

If >>this video<< shows what you're looking for, see the attached simplified example.

Many many thanks.

The above block is almost perfect, however the stud cut wipeout is not duplicated beyond 3 studs - see below;

Is anyone able to modify the above block to include the stud cut wipeout in the duplication? 

Bonus request: Allow modification of plasterboard thickness.

In which "duplication"? Post your block what you have until now.

Which dimension do you want to modify? Would you show us an image please?

[Jake_PCH]

Block - see attached.

Dimensions - see image below.

Test the modification: 

I still don't understand what you mean with "duplication" ... 😞

[Jake_PCH]

That adjustment is perfect, thank you.

As for the duplication query, I am referring to the 'Wipeouts' (black areas) not being duplicated with the studs - see circled in image below.

The attached seems to work for me.
