So I have created a Baluster-Panel Family that I have finally gotten to work parametrically...Thank you!!!!   But now I would like to take the same Baluster family and create a corner condition that has a parametric angled corner.  I have read that you should create the base family "test_2" and nest in another baluster family "test angle"

Here were my steps to try and make this corner baluster-panel family..... 1-Opened the original Baluster-panel family"test_2"...save as "test_angle" 2-Open original "test_2" Baluster-panel family....File>Load from Library>Load family>select "test_angle" file 3-In the project browser I went to groups>model>"test angle" - dragged the file into the project and placed it at the proper location. 4-rotated it slightly 45degrees - place ref. lines at the inside of each post...locked them to the extrusion...placed and angular dimension...created a parameter called "Corner Angle" 5-On the far left toolbar I selected family types and changed the value of the "corner angle" click OK...and I get an error message.                      -Where have I gone wrong in this creation - why do I get an error message saying that the constraints are not satisfied? Somebody help me!!!! Thanks in advance!
