complex profile orign

I was trying to do a sunshade with complex profile to work with beam and wall. The profle when inserted in model gives some new hotspots. The orgin seems to be shifted and when i i change the length of shade the profile moves up!.

I am not sure about the hotspots - the original bounding box before you stretch?

But the 'thickness at edge' modifier seems to be driving the bottom edge down.

And your 'beam depth' and 'WC depth' are referenced to this bottom edge, so they will move when the bottom edge moves.

 

That edge should be static.

 

The thickness at edge can be associated to the sloping surface but can be set to measure the vertical distance.

To associate to an angled edge but measure vertically ...
