set a part height to 0 when the part is suppressed

[Anonymous]

anyone know how to make the cone sit on top of a riser with no gap?

in the screenshot below, the cone is sitting at about 5 ft above the top riser, because the way it is constrained. 

if I was able to set the suppressed riser heights to 0 (in this case riser 4 and 5 are suppressed), then this issue would be resolved.

any ideas?

Hi Chhogori,

I think I would do this by suppressing constraints:

If RiserCount = 2 Then
	Component.IsActive("Lego Brick 2x2:2") = True
	Constraint.IsActive("Mate:2") = True
	Constraint.IsActive("Mate:3") = False
ElseIf RiserCount = 1 Then
	Component.IsActive("Lego Brick 2x2:2") = False
	Constraint.IsActive("Mate:2") = False
	Constraint.IsActive("Mate:3") = True
End If

I hope this helps.
Best of luck to you in all of your Inventor pursuits,
