Creating a curved Panel with holes totally parametric

[gustavobernardi]

Hy everyone. I am trying to create a curved panel with this parameters:

Height

Angle

Radius

Thickness

Until this part it is working fine. But I need to insert a lot of holes on the base and on the top, needing the parameters:

Number of holes (the angle at the ends need to be the half of the internal angles, it is working with the proper formulas)

Height of the holes line 

What I have tried:

1 - Creating the solid and the voids in the same file.

The array and parameters work fine but I can't control the height of the holes line, because I can neither align the groups nor the array itself with my reference plane.

2 - Creating a hole family face based and loading into the panel family

I can insert on the face, but the array doesn't work properly (because of the curved face, I think)

3 - Creating a hole family without host and inserting into the family of the panel.

I can't cut the panel with this void.

Any ideas?

TIA

Assuming that the holes are really necessary, I would do them as a nested generic family, work-plane based, not always vertical, as a model circle, not a void, not a cylinder. Just a circle. Then load that into the host family, on a reference plane that controls the height of the circle. Then, do a radial array with a parameter to control the angle of the array.

Warning: cutting the panel with hundreds of tiny voids is not recommended as it will bring your model performance to its knees.  But you can use an adaptive family with repeating adaptive void component to cut a curved wall in the project, or to place circle model line to present holes on a curved wall in the project.
