Constraining dimensions of part used in a linear components pattern in a top down des

Say an assembly with 2 parallel surfaces or planes 12 inches apart.

Say a part (cube) of x inches wide.

I want to create a linear component pattern of the 4 identical cubes.

I want to constrain the distance between the individual cubes and between the cubes and the parallel surface then get Solidworks to resize the cube to comply with the constraint…

|---[]---[]---[]---[]---|

| = parallel surface
- = "distance"
[] = cube

Is this possible? What’s the simplest way of accomplishing this?

Thanks for your help!
