** The other options are set to Read-Only. TBH i didn't test changes here.
Setup you Box in VarSet
Select each body (Lid, Latch, Bolt, BoxAndInlay) and Export (File-Export, Ctrl+E). If you select more than one body than your slicer maybe ask if the exported file should be loaded as a single object with multiple parts? - Select no and rearrange the bodies, well yes i guess you know what to
Hint: BoxAndInlay - Set Inlay it's to invisible or select only Box-Body for export. If you export Part BoxAndInlay where Box and Inlay is visible you get one pice, which you can't divide in the slicer.
Activate Inlay Body.
Set Length of InlayBlock (Its not a parameter, because i don't you what you want here)
