Cumulative Parameter

[KraiggC]

Is it possible to have a parameter that's cumulative? I.E. I have an option for a left and right drain board flanking sinks in a table. If you have Left OR Right checked it adds 'X' value, but if you have both Left AND Right checked it adds 'X' value for both checked options?

Sure you can.

Now, I bet I know what your response is going to be. "How?"  Good question. I don't know exactly how in your specific case, because I have no idea what your specific case is.  If you have a specific case, then describe it/post it here and we'll work you through that specific case.

Sorry I thought I did through my example? My example is my specific case. If you have Left or Right selected for drain board it adds 18" to the length. However I want it so if you have both checked it adds 36" to the length.

Is this a Family you have?  If so, post it here.

You can ignore the formula in the LForm Formula, I just have that there as a place holder to prevent me from breaking the model when I'm testing things.

My plan is to add length and shift the sink holes left or right based on the selection of which drainboard was chosen. I'm sure it's probably simpler to just add the length to the left or right of the table accordingly, but this model is ultimately performing double duty as a download for clients, as well as the model I'll be using to Render for the website. So I'm trying to keep everything working around the center, this way when I updated the model in 3ds I don't have to move it based on the options selected. There will be around 380ish combinations of models so being able to just update the model and go is important.

Wow.. simplicity at it's finest.. I can't believe I didn't think of that, me always trying to overcomplicate things. Thank you so much!
