Array with two different element

Hello All,

 

I am facing a challenge with an array in the Revit family. As attached Revit project, I have an array of ceiling grids. I have a couple of ceiling tracks. One for the perimeter and one for the inner one. Now since the perimeter has a different profile, I can not start my array from the edge for inner tracks. But this needs to start at some distance from the edge track. This way I am unable to achieve equal distance for all the perimeter and inner tracks. Is there any formula or trick that can manage the above requirements?

 

Thank You!

Why don't you create a Profile Family using the extrusion profile in your CNT_Inner H_Frame Family and then use this Profile for Mullions in a Sloped Glazing Type. Sloped Glazing, like Curtain Walls, can have border Mullions that are different from interior Mullions.

Why? It would be so much easier and way better BIM doing it in the Project via Sloped Glazing or Beam System.  But, if you have to create it in a Family, check out the one I've attached herein.  I think it'll be self-explanatory.

Hi @barthbradley ,

 

This looks close to my requirements, is there any way where we can set the offset value on each end same as the spacing value?
