Create a pattern based on excel input

[hcdvree]

I want to make a model in Inventor based on an Excel.

In Excel I've made a floor plan and I want to build an Part or Assembly with a Feature or Component Pattern based on that floor plan. So each cell with content gives a feature or component and each cell without content gives a suppress of a feature of component in the pattern.

Maybe there are more solutions to get a right model. Can you help me?

See floor plan in Attachement.

Hi,

First we make a floor plan from a project in excel. Then we can easy calculate with this.

After that we want to read this excel in inventor (maybe ilogic) to become the correct sizes and to make a drawing with partslist to build this project. Each cel in excel with a 1, stands for 1 component in inventor. So it's a big pattern, but without fest startposition for each row and column.

What is the best solution to translate this file to a inventor model or assembly?

Best regards,
