Unable to position component in relation to used angles

Post by kreyren »

The "Feet" (red) is designed to lay flat in relation to it's connection point:

The issue is that as soon as i change the "Leg Angle" (yellow) the object gets misplaced:

Q: How can i make the placement to be correctly parametrized after "Leg Angle" changed?

The easy way is to Part/Compound (or Part/Union, or set in a Part container) both leg and foot, then apply the rotation to the compound.
Other wise you'll get some mathematical computation needed. ;)
