Modeling a swoopy-curvy support

I am in the process of creating a family for this -

The seat was straightforward enough. I have modeled the angled support as an adaptive component - only to discover that it won't play nicely with my Specialty Equipment family. Any way that this can be accomplished, so that I can retain the ability to have 3 different size types in the family?

 

Thank you!

There are many similar families from almost all manufacturers.

@barthbradley WHAT? Are you trying to tell me that all I needed to do was talk nicely to you to let down your family business? Smiley (überglücklich)

 

@ToanDN - point conceded. I see that in the family @barthbradley was kind enough to find for me, they had put the swoopy-curvy part together the hard way. However, I would still like to  know how to do this - and enhance my skills with adaptive components.

Not sure if the adaptive approach is necessary. The geometry is quite simple. Generally, if the family is static or can be dimension based, there is no need for using adaptive.

My instinct for the bracket is to create a host form (visibility off) and sweep a continuous path along its perimeter edge so it isn't necessary to make separate sweeps. The example image is an oversimplification but the essence is there. If the underlying form is constrained effectively the sweep will adjust accordingly if its size must vary.

@SteveKStafford - thank you - that is the approach that I will play with, instead of the two angled plates I have supporting my unfortunate bench in the family.....

Actually, you can use the family I provided as a guide to build your own. Reverse-engineer it, and rebuild a "Rina" seat -- another fine product from The Sahay Corporation. Smiley (zwinkernd)
