Need Help for Parametric drive

[cborer]

This is the ground of a box with 5 Feet (Blocks)

I want the blocks in equal distance from each other depending on the Length of the box

Need a formula

Something like this:

Length Ground +6cm – Width Block / Number*Distance + Number*With Block

 Number/Amount here = 4

 4*Distance + 4*With Block

 

Any help is apreciated.

Ah! Parameters:

With Block

Amount Blocks

depending on Lenght Ground

....I would like to say 4 or 5 or 6 blocks with the width of 10 cm or 20 cm...

Hi Carlo,

I couldn't understand your request

Can you give us more information what do you want to achieve? I need two pictures, 4 block with the width of what and 6 block with the width of what.

I will try to solve it

Dear Kim

Thank you

I would like finally to be free to:

1. the amount of Blocks  3 or 4 or 5 aso.

2.the size of the block (width Block)

Hi Carlo,

I'm not sure this is what you want.

The way I would set that up is to first decide (hardcode) a maximum distance between blocks, use that (rather the block centres) to determine the number of blocks, then divide the total length by the number of blocks +/- 1 depending on how you want to set the end blocks. So

Num Blocks = Modulus(Length/[max distance])                            //Modulus to ensure rounded down integer

Block Centre distance = (Length - Block Width + 6cm)/Num Blocks       //This will have the blocks overhanging 3cm each side if centred

 

I should mention that there are a few details that would need to be changed depending on how you implemented the blocks.

Thank you both so much!

Kim you are a genious! Thank you so much!

PS The distance between the blocks is variable depending on the amount of the blocks.(which I simply put in the field for it? (must try)

Thank you Asper ....I try to understand.....

My first expierience with Parametrics in IC

Not first.....Grasshopper, I learned a bit.

Best & 1000 thanks

Hi all

Thanks to your help I could finally solve it.

Here it is!:   

(((BodenL + 6 cm) - FussBr) / (Number - 1))

.....did the Job

And the file....feel free to use it!

Enjoy

Best wishes Carlo

Hi Iron Cad

It would be nice to have a Drive Box in the Scene where I could drive something connected to the parameter Box

Lets say here: the amount of Boxes. (Put in a Number)

ER: Right Click on a Parameter / Create a Drive Box / Numbers

Similar to Grasshoper

[cborer]

....I had to add some more constrains.

Here it is including a side wall

Drag it in the catalog.....

enjoy

NIce Carlo!

 

Is it a packaging box?

Here is a good packaging box sample with Push & Pull parametric. Watch it if you are interested.

Yes

Very cool

Thank you.
