Hello guys, I'm tryin´to build a parametric louver for a curtain wall panel, but it´s not working in the project environment. In the family environment it flexes well. The array system is built as a generic family, and each individual louver is another generic family extrusion.

Can someone take a look to the family?.

Thanks in advance!

change the 'height'parameter in louversystem.rfa to 'instance', not 'type' i suppose it should work.

and you can't name on height in panel template. just use constraint.

Thank you very much!, your panel works great, but I can't get mine to work. Is too stiff, I constrained my array system to the top and base but it breaks. I will inspect your panel and star from scratch.  Thanks again

 

Edit: Dingohot, I made it work, reloaded into a fresh new curtain wall family and constrained  manually as you said.

Great tips. Thank you for taking the time, I really appreciate it. keep it up!
