Hello, I would like to know if it was possible, in a family of rooms, to configure one side so that it changes according to another.
Let me explain, I would like that when for example I change my "Tube inclination" dimension (let's say I change it to 45°) my "B/E inclination" and "B/S inclination" dimensions automatically switch to 45° too.
I never use the parts families, so I have no idea how it works.
I'm working on SolidWorks 2018.
Hello
You can use the function ''=If(E2=360; 90; 45)", in cell F3 for example and the same for cell G3
In your room family, it will then automatically adapt according to the values you have inserted
I remain available if you have any questions
Good morning
Thank you for your answer! Indeed your function works well but another problem arises, in this specific case I must be able to make sure that all the sides follow each other according to the angle (and the length but one problem at a time) of my tube, the problem being that the inclination of my tube does not only vary between 0° and 45° all the values located between must also enter the equation (i.e. at 1°; 2°; 3°ect... up to 45°).
So the function works niquel but it's a little too "binary" for what I want to do^^
Good morning to you too
You can easily add the other angles according to "=If(E2=360; 45; (if(E2=359;44...)) "
And if you have more space you can add it in another column, putting the name "$commentaire" so that Solidworks does not delete it
or do it on several columns and then on the final column, it takes the one that suits according to :), you just have to replace the 45, by the box concerning the desired value:)
Thank you very much, I'll try it out!
Hello
Why not put the values B/S and B/E = to that of the inclination of the tube with the equations?
It will avoid having a lot of column in the family but it must always be the case.
Kind regards.
What does that mean? I don't really understand what you mean mandrake.
I have one last little question and then I'll stop bothering you, I promise!
I guess it's possible but I don't know how to do it, can I make a dimension change according to two values? For example, changed the value of "L side" to "tube inclination" AND "tube length"?
Ah! I understand what you mean mandrake, it's well thought out but I can't because the angle is not the same for the tube and the B/S and B/E
look at the attachment to see what my equation looks like (the first number corresponds to the angle of the tube and the other to the angle of the B/S and B/S)
Yes, it is possible to do so
You have to do the same thing on 2 columns where you will have the value of L with inclination and a 2nd with the length
And then in the final cell, you put an element to make you choose which value to take:)
Don't worry, don't bother us, we're here to help;)
Super! Thank you for your help!
You're welcome:)
Finally I just had to nest the functions one within the other, I attach my final table with my nested equation
