Number variable and Number of element in a sketch.

Hi Onshape people
It would help me a lot to be able to assign a variable to the number of sides of a polygone in a sketch. But it seems that functions such as " inscribed polygon " does not allowed a variable for the number of sides it creates.
Do you have any alternative ?
Thanks for your help

One alternative would be the Shape custom feature:

Sadly it won't solve my problem. I'm trying to modelize and parametrize zome in a single document. I'd like to chang the frequency and shape of the zomes by tweaking some variables.
To have it fully parametric it will be tedious to set up, but possible. Combine the Shape feature with something similar to this variable pattern technique and you should be good to go: https://forum.onshape.com/discussion/comment/86191#Comment_86191
