Family Creation 2 (parametric Arrays) The ‘Cupboard Door Plain’ must sit flush with the face of the kitchen cupboard. So we will use the ‘Align’ tool to achieve this. Because it is an array we must first align the 1 st element in the array and the last element. The elements in between will form a step pattern after aligning the first element. This will go away once the last element has been aligned. After each align click on the ‘Lock’ to lock the array to the face of the kitchen cupboard. Our next step is to constrain the Cupboard Door Plain, 1 st and last elements of the array a certain distance from the ends of the kitchen cupboard. So click on the 1 st element in the array, move it to the left so that it sits flush with the reference plane and then move it to the right by 10mm. Do the same for the last element in the array. We position the elements this way because dimensions that are made to arrayed elements do not become editable if their referencing element is selected. Once the 1 st and last elements of the arrays have been moved dimension the space between them and the reference planes at either ends of the kitchen cupboard. Click on these dimensions and ‘Lock’ them because we want them to stay this distance from the edge of the kitchen cupboard.
