How to be on the same plane in welded mechanics with different profiles

Hello

I make a welded mechanically chassîs, and I use several profiles, 100x100, 80x80 60X60 ...

I want the upper surface to be at the same level regardless of the profiles used.

Changing the sketch of the plan by shifting the difference between the profiles works but I don't have any practice if I want to change a bar because I have to redo everything.

I tried to use the equations with 3D sketch, (height defined according to the profiles used) but when I change profiles, the name changes and the equation no longer recognizes the variable.

Do you have a solution?

Hello

Could you post an image or the file to better understand your need?

Thank you

There is much simpler.
You don't have to have the profile centered on the sketch member.
There just needs to be a point entity in the profile sketch on the corners/midpoints of the profile.
Then, by clicking on the "position profile" button, you will be able to choose this point.

Another important point is that your profiles must come from the same sketch or that you have a family table.

Attached is a screenshot that shows the insertion points (the *) not to be confused with the arc centers (the +).
