💡 Pattern Index - Feature Request / How do I do it?

I wanted to suggest a really simple addition to Fusion that allows users to automatically adjust properties of pattern instances based on their position.

 

For instance, to create a pattern of cylinders where height increases by 5mm in X direction and diameter by 2mm in Y direction.

 

Implementation

1. Add `x_index` keyword to the equations, so we can do `height = base_height + (x_index - 1) * 5 mm`.

 

Benefits

* Efficient creation of complex, varying patterns.
* Reduced need for manual adjustments or scripts (currently the only way to do this?)
* Enhanced parametric design capabilities.

 

Or am I missing something obvious? 😁

This feature request has been made before, but the way you suggest to implement it is unique!

Improvements to the pattern tools are overdue and this would be a very nice addition!

Glad you like the idea!  Has anyone from Autodesk seen it / has feedback? 🙂
