      Hope someone can help me out, I've played with DCs before, real simple things and not real useful in terms of workflow. So I decided to try and make something alittle more complex that I might actually be able to use. So I got a deck railing, that has 3 different styles and 8 different colors, I was hoping to be able to resize it either by typing the length in a input box or by using the scale tool and have the posts and balusters space themselves as needed, saying that, these are composite rail systems that come in 6' and 8' lengths with 5" on center baluster spacing. So I came up with a formula that would divide the total length of the railing to be able to use these 6' or 8' sections and place a post where needed. If you look at the pics, it seems like the formula is working cause as I change the overall length of the railing I get different spacing for my posts. The formula isn't complete yet as it's suppose to divide railing length greater than 8' thru 72', I stopped at 32' just to test it. I added the ROUND function cause I was getting six places past the decimal sometimes on my spacing so I thought SU couldn't handle that and that was why my copies where not be created. Sorry for the long post and any help would be appreciated, thanks.
