Family parameter for adjusting quantity of an element relative to overall length

I remember ages ago seeing a family creation tutorial on how to adjust the number of coat hooks along a back board, based on the length of the board. 

 

Today I'm creating a bare fin tube family with adjustable length and fin size. That much I can manage. But I'd like to show the fins in plan view using model lines. I can't remember how the parameter works for adjusting the number of fins based on the overall length.

 

Can anyone help?

 

Thanks!

Hello,

 

You can use the array tool, but for the calculation you have to create your own formulas.
