I know there is a different thread asking for ideas for solving some drawer calculator issues, however I thought it best to make a new post to suggest some in depth solutions I have made. Before I start, I should say that most of this won't make senseAttribute Variables visibility determined by layer use in drawing
I was wondering if there was a method I am not aware of that I could find if an object or anything in the current room is drawn on a particular layer and use that to set a variable to say a different thing. I am setting up an automated materials pageExtruded product builder - Curved Bench
We are currently looking at producing cutable curved pieces to build a curved bench (See images attached) as per the design. The issues we are running into is our extrusion runs into our walls. Has anyone ever created a product similar to this? Any tipsHas anyone created a bench product with a lift up top?
I am curious the best way to approach this. I started with a box end product with a Face Frame on the front, and I plan on using a ladder kick for install. How would/should I add the lift up top with hardware? Using a finished faces subassembly with theNot Letting Me Add Products

Is there an easy way to make a part draw as one size but go to the CNC as a different size, without having to make multiple cutparts in a product? For example, we draw our scribe for submittals as whatever width the architect has specified so that when we redraw the elevation of it we don't have to constantly change the dimension. However, we send it to the CNC as no less than 3" because our CNC tends to have problems with parts smaller than 3".
