We will array this door panel.
Therefore we need to have
reference planes at the frame
to lock the array to. Draw in a
reference plane on the rebate
edge of the frame on both
ends. Place a dimension
between these new reference
planes and the ones
controlling the Width of the
door.
Select the newly created panel
and array it to the right or left
depending. Use the ‘Array to
Last’ option. Make the count of
array items 3 for now. Align
and lock the outer edges of
the arrayed panel to the
reference planes that were
dimensioned earlier as well as
the rebate chosen as the Work
plane for the panel extrusion.
Select an item in the array.
Click on the array control and
make it a parameter with the
following properties.
k. Name = Door Panel Count
l. Discipline = Common
m. Type of Parameter =
Integer
