Hi everyone,
I’m having a problem with a parametric workflow. I’m working on auxetic structures parametrically, and I need the dimension shown in the first image as a numerical value.

For linear patterning, I save this dimension as a parameter (as shown in the bottom-right). However, after using the Merge Bodies command, this parameter becomes 0,0 as seen in the second image, and it no longer works correctly for other parameters.

Is there another way to track this kind of dimension?

I actually don’t want to control this dimension manually as a parameter. I only need its value — it’s not something I want to edit directly. I want it to update automatically based on other parameters and then drive the linear pattern accordingly.

Any suggestions or alternative approaches would be really appreciated.
