How Link Visibility Parameter to Move Action ?

Hi,

I have 2 pillars. these are moving by using the parameter from 1500 to 2000mm (these two distances only) - i will made a DesignTable later.

then I have a chain, actually two, one 1500mm and the other 2000mm - these will be between the pillars. chains are added as a component and I have already set the visibility parameter in main drawing .(on/off)

How Link Visibility Parameter to Move Action ?

So in the end I want the columns to move and when the distance is 1500mm I want to see a short chain and when it is 2000mm I want to see a long chain.

thanks for the ideas

    Hello.

    Depending on the design intent, a simpler approach seems to be to make a copy of one of the pillars at the requested position.
    So, the block will contain Pillar_1, Pillar_2_1500, Pillar_2_2000, Chain_1500, and Chain_2000.

    The first visibility state will display Pillar_1, Pillar_2_1500, and Chain_1500.
    The second visibility state will display Pillar_1, Pillar_2_2000, and Chain_2000.

    Another approach could be to create some suppress parameters and make them 0 or one depending on the value of the main distance parameter, which is either 1500 or 2000.
