Linear Light Family with parametric angle joinery

[Anonymous]

Hi Everybody, 

I am having a hard time with a linear light family that I created. I made a parametric family which can be edited for width and length etc. as a line-based family. The problem that I am having is that I need the trim to meet at a range of odd angles. I have tried several methods to make an angled void or to make the family itself extend and end at an angle parametrically and have not had any success. 

I hope that this question made sense. Any help would be extremely appreciated! I am trying to use this for my thesis which is do in less than two weeks. 

Thanks in advance for all your help!

if there is 90 degrees you can use below snips and use joint geometry, or you need a model separate family with respective angle (reference line with angle ).
