How to Parametrizing an Angle in BricsCAD

Hello everyone,

I am currently in the process of transitioning some workflows in our CAD library from dynamic ACAD blocks to parametric BricsCAD blocks while also adding new features. However, I’ve encountered a major challenge when trying to parametrize an angle.

A simple example: I want to parametrize a 3D solid beam.

• The material cross-section should be selectable via a design table.
• The length should be adjustable via a user parameter.

So far, so good. Now, I also want to be able to angle the ends of the beam and parametrize this property. The goal is to control the following aspects via parameters:

• Cross-section
• Length
• Miter angle at one end
• Miter angle at the other end

I have spent several hours experimenting with parametrization, especially using the Angle Constrain, but I can’t get a proper output. Either nothing happens, or the part gets completely deformed.

Does anyone have experience with this? Is there a reasonable approach to parametrically controlling the angles of the beam ends, or is this not really intended in BricsCAD?

Thanks in advance for your help!
