Create planes by equation/table

I'd like to create a set of parallel planes by an equation or table(if I
have too but rather nut because the table features suck).

the formula is

C*(1 - 1/2^(m/12)) where m runs from 0 to 24

C is a constant, and it is referenced from some initial plane.

Is this possible?

Thanks,
Jon

hehe, maybe

 

I can't find a way to pattern planes ('07). I tried using sketch-
driven pattern, no luck. Looks like you may have to create 25
individual planes and equations.

 

How about making a flat surface or real thin flat extrusion and bringing
that into an assembly as an envelope part. Then control the pattern via a
table or equation? If you wanted the planes in a part file, then you could
just have the part in context to the planes in the assembly.

I was able to create a macro to do this but would be nice if there was an
easier way. Unfortunately the macro documentation seems to be a pos so it
would be hard to setup a system to work in in general... plus I hate VB.
Looking into addon's but doesn't seem to have any decent documentation.
(it's one thing to give a list of functions but entirely different to
explain their behavior)

It can be done using equations. I gave the value of C and then added
another equation as "A"= "C" * ( 1 - 1 / 2 ^ 1 / 12 )

No for every plane you may need 2 create a different equation I guess
so it means 24 different equation with different value of m.

Using table will be much easy over here.

You might consider defining your planes to points in a planar sketch.
Definig the Planes is *kinda* a lot of manual work (actually, about
two minutes) to attach all the parallel planes to the sketch points.
Then you can use SWX equations to space all the sketch points
