Aluminum composite panels parametric templates

[emosms]

Hi,

I am struggling to make this parametric template work.
It is always 1 constrain short of making it behave properly.
F.ex. in the curent hair pull-off session I can't make the crossed lines stay parallel/ horizontal, the mitre angle lock at 45 degree, the parallel tilted blue lines stay equal or whatever needed to prevent skewing.

Somehow I made 1 face and 2 face panel template work properly (it allready was a pain to make the two face and I dont know how I made it work)
But I need also 3, 4, 5 face panels, also a corner panel.

The problems come when I try to control the innermost side flanges (where the 45 degree miters are).
If they are not equal,the sketch skews, but they might not be equal in some occasions.

 

What is the correct order of applying dimensions and constrains?
I know the geometry I am trying to force is completely legit (I can draw it manualy) but that is not the point, it is extremely tedious and boring when a lot of panels need to be done.
Can I find ready parametric templates for this?
The constraints interaction seems to make the task impossible.

Can you post a .dwg?

Hi, the 1 and 2 face templates work.
The 3 face templates are squared in yellow, one is parametric sketch, the other is a dynamic block, completely messed up now.

Seems easier to apply strech action in a dynamic block but I still have to apply TONS of constraints (coincident points, parallel...)
I understood I can mass apply them with AUTOCONSTRAIN, but still needs a lot of adjustment and clean up.

At least didn't reach the "overconstrained" warining within a dynamic block.
