Frame driven by parametric sketch

[Anonymous]

I have created a sketch to drive my frame geometry. I have equations that compute the number of HSS members that shall be placed. These equations determine the number of lines, these lines drive the frame. When I change the length of my structure, it automatically changes the number of HSS members needed. How can I make the frame regenerate according to the proper amount of lines?

Thanks

Can you post the skeleton file - or at least an image.

I suspect that you will want to control a Component Pattern with your equation rather than sketch pattern.

Hello @Anonymous I would imagine that a bit of linked parameters with an expression would achieve what you are trying to do, or a bit of iLogic. 

If you can attach a simplified version with Pack & Go as .zip of what you are trying to do that would be helpful in assisting.
