Need to change extrusion height of 16 different parts with a Variable or equation

This is the part I am referring to https://cad.onshape.com/documents/19ccedfa79bcaae737fc2b78/w/57ef42aa3da09539b7ab6acb/e/595ed0d6e4e6dca34a193ead
I extruded each segment one at a time as they need to be different parts. I wold like to change the extruded height of all of them at one time. Is there a way?

You could extrude 1 part, then pattern it 16 times. That way you can edit the one extrude, and it will change all the parts. Make sure the pattern is set to 'New' so it creates new parts instead of merging them with the existing one.

Do you mean I have to create 16 Variables or is there a way to include all 16 parts in one Variable?0

You can include all 16 parts in a variable but of course all 16 parts will extrude that single variable's amount/distance. Just copy/paste your #Height variable in to each extrude distance.0

Extruding one part then pattern as new was just what I was looking for. Worked perfect. Many Thanks Jon0
