I've made a Curtain System on a form element from an imported Conceptual Mass-family. The surface is not curved, but tilted. I then put out grid-lines to divide the panels, and it is importent to be able to control the distances between them. As you can see on the attached image - the angle of the top line on the surface is controlling the grid. How can I set the base line on the surface to make the grid-angle? They are supposed to be horizontal.

I have tried to make the form element in different ways in Conceptual mass, but it doesn't seem to solve my problem.

There is plenty of good information there that applies to this situation. Scott Davis provided a solution using the intersects feature.
