Hi,
I am trying to create a parametric family for a façade panel. Height, width and depth adjustable. I have shown a pink extents box so the panel shape can be seen
It has a flat face (panels 3 and 4) and angled faces (panels 1 and 2).
Panels 3 and 4 behave as expected the trouble is with and angled panel 1 and 2.
The reference plane that 1 and 2 are sketched on needs to rotate in 2 directions to unknow angles.
I have reference lines the which behave how I want.
Is there a way to lock the extrusion sketch to the reference lines?
Or is there a some other way I can make this family work?

If it is more than one panel, you will need to consider the pattern...similar to the below. However, you might want to think about the pattern more. A square shape with a cut out inverted pyramid might make more sense...after all we don't know what you are modeling
If it is just that one panel you can still create it using a generic model. However, I would split it into two elements (at the diagonal) and model only 1 . It becomes fairly easy to use a void to slice it and create face 1 (mirrored face 2).
Below is a video but the user actually wanted to have the piece which you are cutting out...ie: you can simply invert the Void/Solid

Here is how I would approach it. You would do solid extrusion. Then at elevation, you want to use void blend to create the cut. Once you did this, you can easily parametrized the panel to suit your shape.
Placed it in the curtainwall panel and now you can create panel with different offsetting value
Thanks for the replies, both are great solution and have introduced me to some new techniques.
