Variations of a cabinet model approach?

I'm helping a friend layout his kitchen in Fusion.

 

We've created a base cabinet component that is variable driven. Height, width, material thickness etc.

 

We'd like to be able to duplicate that component and modify certain variables to create the variations needed to fill the kitchen. Some cabinets are wider, some narrower, some taller, drawers, doors, etc.

 

Copying and pasting the base cabinet, just makes an instance that is forever the same as the original.

 

Copying and pasting the bodies, leaves us using the Push-Pull tool to manually tweak each cabinet.

 

Importing a linked version of the base model doesn't allow editing.

 

Importing the base model, breaking the link and editing, creates a ton of duplicate variables that aren't really well identified in the parameters panel.

 

Modifying the base model and saving versions (tall, wide, etc) is as close as we got, but you can't maintain multiple versions of the same file in the top level assembly. When you pick Choose Version, they all update to the same version, rather than just the one cabinet we want.

 

What would be the best method for doing this?

 

Cheers,

J.
