      Hello,
      I am a rookie when it comes to dynamic Components. Attached is a model of an archive system which copies when scaled. My problem is how to make an end to the archive which doesn´t copy in between the two ends. I also have a problem with the back cross which I would like to copy only every second copy. Another problem is I cannot scale to make 3 copies, only 4 and more.
      Can anybody help me/show me how to do it?

      Dynamic Archive


      Scalable archive How it should work..

        Here a solution (not THE only solution 😉 ).
        The end must be an unique element positioned at (Copies+1)ModuleXLength.
        The cross must be outside of the module and the number of copies must be the half of the Module copies and positioned at 2
        copy*ModuleXLength. You can also let the cross in the module and define the visibility on odd number of module copy.

          Thank you DD
          Looks fine except I want the right end on row to be rotated 180 degrees with end cap on top. The cross seems out of dimension and when I try to modify to original strange things happen...??
          Tried to copy your solution without sucsess. Must have missed something.

            Just add "+2.5" at the Stige's X and a RotZ = 180. You can ajust manualy the Y position or on the Y if you know the size.

            You must define the LenX of each Arkiv sub-component cause if you don't, you resize the sub-component when you resize the Arkiv. I don't know the right size of the cross, so I put the same size than Hyllesystem ; you can change with the right value. You can add a little offset to the Croos X value to put it on the right position.

              Thank you again DD. It works fine now 😄
              I learned a lot from this. I am testing to make a menu system. I guess there will be problems if I wanted to implement another choice of depth of shelves and endwalls(Stige) into this model due to the holes..?
