Creating an extrusion with multiple faces

Hello,

 

I would like to create an extrusion with multiple faces, where each of the faces has got an unique height. Is there any way to do this?

Create a Generic Model Family, or Model it In-Place inside your Project.

You can use volume as a driver for your unique depth. I use curtainwall panel and then set the depth by having Volume/(width x height) formula

When you add grids, the panel will be randomized. You can change the volume value and the panel will increase or decrease

Looks like want to do it in sketch mode. My suggestion would be to sketch in Elevation and align/lock all sketch linework to Ref. Planes (or Ref. Lines) and then pulled dimensions between RPs and label them with an INSTANCE Parameters. This way, you can activate Shape Handles so you can change sizing dynamically by dragging Shape Handles in the Project, as well as  through the Elements Properties.
