Angled Lecture Table Family Problem

[kmarquis]

I have to this figure this family out if not just for this onesitauation but all angled families I need to create in the future. I have this lecture room with angled tables and a variable table length for each leg (see attached pdf). I got it to work for awhile but it broke really easy. I know you have to use Reference Lines for angles but I don't understand how to use them along side of Reference Planes for the Depth of the table, etc and how to contrain the extrusion. I want to set up mostly all instance parameters for the angle of the table (which is around 159 degrees) and each table leg length.

Thanks!

I've always had to use some kind of trig function to get the length of the angled leg to be parametric for families like that. That way you can use orthagonal dimensions to control the angle and length of a reference line or extrusion.
