The model does not change when I change Parameters (=dimensions)

Hi, I created a Wave form using a sketch, in Create Form space, Then I used Sweep > Thicken. When I change Height and Period of the wave form I see the base sketch changes accordingly, but the model created with Sweep command - does not change. Where is the error ? 

I want to control the height and other dimensions of the wave from SwiftCalcs, but I stopped right during model creation.

 

Please Help

 

Regards,

 

Mike

Dear Gunther,

 

Thank you for your help. I just tried to do this in Solid Space, but the results are similar and odd. Some of the changes are reflected in the model, other - not. What could be causing this ? Is there any part in manual describing this ? I must control wave shape parametrically, but have no idea how to do this. In addition, I need to make a "sandwich" from identical waves but of different thickness (e.g. wave shaped foils minded together). 

 

Would be very grateful for any further help.

 

Regards, 

 

Maciej
