Make parameter variable for Frame Generator

Hi there, I have figured out how to import my custom frame profile into the content center library and thereby appear on the Frame Generator, as below:

Under ANSI I created a profile under Family 25-2525 with two different sizes : '0.418452' and '5' .

However, regardless of which size I choose, the actual appearance and dimensions of the aluminium ibeams does NOT change. I would like

The size pertains to the dimension below 'd9' , which is essentially the 'radius' of the piece.

 So, changing the value of d9 should change the radius, thereby the size, of the entire ibeam. 

 

It seems to not be working though, and even under iPart Author, I entered 5 in for d9 under 25-2525-02 but it still indicates a fixed value for d9 on the top left highlighted part

Could it be a problem with my parameter settings? Should the d9 be consumed by anything?  Am I adding a variable dimension/parameter the wrong way (by going onto the part body and adding a dimension onto the sketch?)

Thanks!

Did you actually sketch and extrude your extrusion or import this shape from somewhere?
