I am creating a dynamic block of a box girder.
I have set it up so that variables such as girder height, bottom slab thickness, web thickness, and overhang width can be adjusted.
Now, I want to apply a cross slope, so I tried using the 'Rotation Parameter.' However, the overhang width, web, and other ΔX values (widths) also change.
How can I configure it so that I can add the slope without affecting ΔX?

Because there are missing some information, please show us an example how the block should look after "rotating" (e.g. 30°). Then I can prefer you a solution.

Attached you find a first attempt. 

I'm not sure if all your wishes have been fulfilled - test it please.

And also I don't know what should happen with the chamfers while rotating. For now I ignored both.

 

EDIT: small bug fixed. See block test1-v1 in the attached file (...-pa2).
