Help with Accordion wall family

I am attempting to develop this family for accordion walls.My attempt is to show the accordion as 1/3 of the opening width. The pictures that I am using as a guide point at a piece of trim fixed at the end of the accordion.

What I would appreciate help with is being able to make the trim do just that. As you can see, depending upon the parametric array used to create the accordion, the trim in my family is shy of the edge. The Wave Spacing parameter, BTW, can be flexible. How do I fix this?

OK - I fixed it by creating an end piece with a flexible height that was equal to the Accordion Length minus the actual length of the array. So far so good. But when I drop it into a Project, the family breaks at lengths greater than 20'-0" Here is the updated family, that should answer the question - Why?

Here's one with the wave spacing flexible around 3" so there is no need for the end piece.

Perfect! The End Piece was breaking every time I would try to make it any longer than 20'. Thank you!

Did you download the original family from Hufcor?  I can't understand why they always add extra redundant unnecessary parameters for no apparent reasons, for example Total Length (user created) vs. Length (built-in).  Yes the sentence above has redundant adjectives because why not?

No - Hufcor doesn't have a BIM family. This was entirely me with their CAD DWG as a guide - bloopers and all.....

That's repetitive, duplicative, reiterative, and also expresses the same thing more than once.

@chrisplyler@ToanDN - you guys take your redundancy so very seriously, don't you?

I don't know about Chris but I do.  Evidently, just about twenty minutes ago, some unsecured, non purposed, redundant orange plastic tapes tangled up the handle bar and BAM! I was on the ground.

 

Yes I know I should have take a wider turn but alas...

Aside from a couple of cracked ribs, then it seems okay so far. Could be worse.

 

What irony is that you have logged a hundred of thousand of miles on canyon roads and race tracks without a single mishap, but you got caught by some stupid sh!t like this. All those times.

Oh for sure. If I tell people I track, they react with, "Oh my gosh, that's so dangerous!" I'm always trying to explain why driving on track is much safer than driving on public roads.

I agree. On tracks, you don't have to deal with crazy / drunk / clueless drivers zigzagging around you.
