kpyoung333 Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 I searched but could not find a good answer so I thought I would give you all something fun to play with. I am trying to space a gate formula where the pickets and wood slats are computed based off the lengthening of the gate. I figured the formula and it seems to be what I need but now implementing it into Inventor is where I fail. The problem is if the gate gets too big it won't fill in the huge spaces on the sides. Attached is an image of what I'm trying to do and the formula I put together. This would save me time and headache of having to figure it out every time and make the model parametric. I typically work with iProperty forms to drive my model, but haven't had much need for Rules or iLogic or iParts. Usually just Vault copy design, scaling the door frame width & height then changing out components and adding detail works quickly and efficiently. With gates however, they are all long runs of pickets and spacing by Rules would be perfect. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
czc Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 I didn't understand your formula, this is mine, the ends haven't gotten much larger than the width in my tests. I can't picture what you're trying to make though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
