Arrange solid bodies between two planes.

Hi! I'm working in a door family for Revit. I need to arrange a N number of solid bodies between two given workplanes. As it's a Revit Family it need to be parametric so i try to extrude the profile of the body and after arrange the body in the distance given by the two workplanes and in a N number of instances. The problem is that the last element get out the space area i want. How can i get it? The workplanes are the top and bottom planes of the whiter rectangle in the photo.

Hi! I think you want an uneven spaced pattern, right. There are a few ways to do that. Without recreating the pattern, you can simply use Direct Edit -> Body -> Move to relocate the top body back to the right place.

Or, you can delete the rectangular pattern. Create a sketch with three points along a line (dimension the spacing accordingly). Then create a Sketch Driven Pattern based on the points.

Many thanks!

No, i want an even space pattern. The start point of the linear pattern that i used is the base of the solid body. I want to start the pattern in the down face of the whiter body.

Btw the second option that you gived me almost worked. I can add parametrically n object evenly spaced but the last element corresponding with the last point of the linear pattern in the sketch is intersecting the upper object. I upload a image.

Hi! Then rectangular pattern should work too. You may need to use the number of occurrences minus 1 divided by the span length to get the spacing.

Many thanks!
