I have a linear pattern that varies the spacing and number of instances dependent on equations. At the very end of my tree https://i.imgur.com/nOKRjvh.png I have a combine feature. I do this to hide some overlap in solid bodies which I had to do because of some design constraints. That way, in the drawing the overlapped bodies don't show. Not showing​ because of combine feature at end. Showing​ without combine feature

My question, is there a way/a boolean to have the Combine feature capture ALL of the bodies so i can change the equation and instance count without having to re-do the combine feature to capture the additional bodies?

Alternatively, is there a way to make the linear pattern feature, combine/merge all bodies? This would be ideal. I tried selecting features instead of bodies within the Linear Pattern feature, but it will not work correctly.

Thanks!
