How to create parametrized cutout in HFSS 3D Layout

  Hey, I'm trying to create a cutout in hfss 3d layout and i want to control the size with a variable. When i create a parametric object and subtract it from another object, the parameterization gets lost. E.g. if I have a slot with a width x and subtract this from a rectangle, after the operation, changing x doesn't change anything.

  Defining something as negative only kinda solves it, designing more complex shapes by adding, subtracting and intersecting is sometimes neccessary.

  Hi f.stapelfeldt,
  
  Did you try the cutout BEFORE parameterizing it. This will allow you to parameterize the cutout.
