Re: Problem with Parametric Curve FS
If #R, #E, etc. are just numbers, then don't divide them by mm. Everything inside a trig function needs to be an angle and every parameter needs to be a distance. So, something like #R * cos(#t*radian) * mm would be valid, as long as #R is dimensionless.
Re: Problem with Parametric Curve FS
I think you need things like cos(#t * radian). Also, #x / 1mm gets parsed as (#x / 1) * mm which is may not be what you want. Keep in mind though that at the end, you want to end up with distance units in all 3 variables.
Video demo: Conditional configuration lists
Hey everyone! I developed a decent workaround for working with configurations where you want to change which configuration list you're using depending on a previous selection. In my example the list of options changes depending on whether I choose Inch or Metric like this. I made a video about it here
Re: How to fully define a spline
Hey @Logan_Nguyen,
I think it might also be helpful to use the mirror feature to mirror left and right side of your sketch, they seem like you would want them symmetrical.
If you don't care about dimensionally constraining your spline but rather the shape and connection points, you can also fix it to fully define.
In most cases you would probably want it to be tangent to the curves that it connects to. Hope this helps. Cheers

Re: filletting all edges of an extrusion from a configurable side-count polygon sketch
I looked up the video and watched it. Some good suggestions in there. Thank! The end of the video is exactly what I was asking about here. I agree that while it is very valuable to have featurescript for so many things, it does not address the lack of a selection feature itself. Evan referred to the need for 'persistence' though the words in my head were 'delayed evaluation'. Either way, not having some implementation of this makes certain things much harder than they need to be. As another example I just hit, I would like to be able to use the entire set of wave surfaces to do a split. I created the selection when the part had three waves and then changed the configuration variable to instead be nine waves and now have only 1/3 of the top surface selected.
Anyways, as with all your help on most of my questions here, thank you @jelte_steur814 !
