Making parametric 2D objects with GDL

Reilly

I am currently working on creating a library of objects for my office. I have had success creating customizable 2D objects with certain parameters and options such as different views and elements that can be turned on and off (e.g. a sink with the option of showing/hiding the pedestal, or a bed with headboard and footboard that can be turned off). So far, though, I am limited to objects with fixed dimensions and want to create objects that can stretch and be more customizable. For example, I can create an object like a bed, which has a number of set standard sizes, and toggle between these sizes as options in the settings. However, I want to create an object like a couch which can be stretched to custom sizes without the arms being distorted.

 

Essentially, how can I make specific lines stretch without distorting other lines in a 2D object?
