Dear All,

1. the angle (26) changes at a constant basis through out my structure. The middle chord must stay at that intersection.
2. because of the angle change the two other chords must follow suit.
3. the bay below must remain a 2000mm (hense the parallel dim)
4. I have locked must of the reference planes together and flexed my model and everything works perfect barring the situations above.
5. I have highlighted the wanted locked areas however I can lock these

To begin it looks like you have reference planes for angles and you cant change angles of reference plane, you must use reference lines for this.  I would try using reference lines instead, and they should work with some tweeking.  If you cant get the lines to work check out the tutorials on them.  They are very difficult to understand, and Im not the person to go much further about reference lines.
