Adding Paramets to Void Array in Family

Hi All!

I am creating a Parametric Joinery Family which includes some array's for different numbers of drawers. 

I need to cut the side panels of the carcass when I have a finger-pull for the handle, as there is a Shadow line detail that sits behind the drawer fronts to conceal the gaps, and this needs to carry to the edge of the carcass.

I am having issues with either getting a nested void array to cut the carcass (the array works perfectly), or getting a modelled in Host Family void to array correctly (cut works perfectly).

I can get a single void to cut correctly and at the correct height for the bottom drawer and the top drawer, but I cant get an array to work for intermediate drawers when I have 3 or 4 drawers in the array.

The issue being that I can't constrain the original/first item in the array to the refence plane that I want (I can't select the void to align after selecting the reference plane), whereas I CAN constrain the top/last item in the array to to top reference plan.

I know there are some no-no's around void arrays, but surely someone has managed this feat?!

Update:

I've managed to get the Nested Face-Based Void to both Cut & Array in the host family, however I cannot get the voids to toggle off with the yes/no parameters that I've used.

Family attached.

(the yes/no toggle is the "FINGERPULL" Parameter & the "DRAWER MULTIPLE EQ" Parameter)
