Is it possible to create twisted die walls with Extruded Products Builder?
Hello, Usually Die walls follow one curve with top and bottom plates being parallel to each other and maybe offset of each other, with equal length studs. I have a situation were Top and Bottom plates are the same but they are slightly rotated of eachDoor/Drawer Bay Insert

It would be nice if the basics for these were setup and the formulas adjusted to make them work.

I know there was a similar post back on the old MV help website that had quite a few followers, but I thought I'd bring it up again. It would be really helpful to have a way for MV to automatically select the correct bit when a drill hole goes through the material vs when it doesn't without having to do a workaround. Several users, including us here at Stevens, have been "tricking" the program using different diameters (8.0 vs 8.1) or similar, but it would be nice not to have to do that.
