How to dimension inside pocket of shell?

How to dimension inside pocket of shell?

How to dimension inside pocket of shell?

(OP)
I am using Wildfire 2.0.  I have a model where I did a shell feature.  The model has one step on the back and the shell follows this step also.  This model has a family table where the length of the step changes.  I made my detail drawing and inserted a table where I inserted the values from the family table.  This worked fine.  My problem is that I need to also have a variable dimension on the open side of the shell that dictates the length of the opening.  Since I have a shell, it is driven by the wall thickness dimensions.  How can I make the opening length vary with the step length and have it in my table without using a dumb table?

Either assign a parameter value with a relation or create an indicator, i.e. sketch ref dim, datum evaluate, annotation feature, etc., and feed it into the table?
