3D parametric component with 2D symbols

Hi guys.

I am learning how to create custom parametric components. I have this box with width, lenght, depth and elevation and with it´s 2D representation on the "floor". Everything is working fine.

Now I want to add this magenta symbol so that it changes it´s size along with the size of the box (something like the window swing symbol).

Please any hints how to do that? I was trying to understand how the window swing symbol on the windows advanced components is created, but I have no clue how it was created. I tried to use "coincident" but with no success.

Thanks

    You could create the triangle portion as a block. This allows you to describe in 2D (X & Y plane) using 2D parametric tools. When you insert it you can place it in the vertical plane per your image. You can use 3D constraints to position this block.
