I made a quick shape for you. It's something like this. You can download and learn how to use it.

Hi @Anonymous 

You can create that shape using rotated hooks

In this simple example, I sketched the V part, added 37 deg hooks, which i rotated 90 and 270 deg, respectively.

You can override the hook lengths and input the segment lengths directly, for the parameters which have the hook lengths assigned inside the family

The family definition looks like this

To get the other lengths shown in your images, you can write formulas based on the angle between the segments and lengths of the segments.

To get the overall length, projected to a plane (like in your picture), you can compute the projected length of the hooks, based on the hook length and bending angle (37 deg).

I've attached this sample example.

The ability to rotate hooks and override hook lengths is available starting with Revit 2021

Thank you so much for taking your own time to looking this for me.
