creating adaptive stair given height length and width
creating adaptive stair given height length and width
(OP)
I want to have a part or assembly for all of my stairs.
Idealy i would like to bring in the part and give it a height, length and width and let inventor decide on the number and size of steps based on constraints such as the height of each step being between 200-250mm.
Ive had some sucess using iparts but cant get it to decide how many steps i need???

RE: creating adaptive stair given height length and width
The best way to handle parts like this is to make a template part with an embedded spreadsheet. Then as you change the length of the part, the formulas in the Excel sheet create the correct # of steps.
A template parts is nothing more than a part that you place in your template directory. Start a new part from it and then modify the Excel sheet to your desire. Then save the part in your active project.
