BALCONY FAMILY WITH NESTED ARRAY RAILING

[giovanni.bonavia.pela]

Hi all, I feel I am going crazy. I am trying to include a railing (made as nested array family) in the balcony family that I am creating. I need to lock the array in two specific points to allow the railing to adjust based on the angle of the balcony and its depth and width. But no matter how I try, the array always brakes the constraints and requires me to remove them. It seems that the array can only stretch and move in one direction ones I have imported it. And this is silly. I feel I am doing something wrong and I cannot get around it. Any suggestions?

Please see the family attached as well in case you want to have a look.

Thanks.

do you want something like this ?

[giovanni.bonavia.pela]

Yes!!! Nice that is definitely what I need.

What have you done to achieve that? I notice an angle dimension on the top left corner of the family.

Could you clarify the process for me so I am able to understand how to do next time?

Thanks again!

I show you how you can fix one side and you fix both of them :

as you see i change the Work Plane of your railing to Reference Lines then adjust the another reference lines that is perpendicular with first one . in the end you see it is working.

You are a star!
One think I have noticed is that the the requirement of the two extra reference lines and angle dimensions are not fully required, once you change the working plane to the reference line everything works smoothly!!!

Thanks a lot !!
