Parametric Scallop

Hey all,

So we do a lot of worktops through our factory and to make our lives much easier I've built a custom product with most of the things that we are asked for as modifications to our standard worktop. Things like cutouts/grommits, variable radius corners, non-standard shapes etc. 

The issue I'm having is scallops (like the one below). I initially created the scallop with the Draw Part in 2D tool and then went back in to Edit Design Data and swapped all of the vector points for the polyline out so that the scallop width could be modified with a custom prompt. Which was fine for a week and now I'm seeing that just about all of the parameters for a scallop like we do them (depth, width, angle, radius fillets) is going to need to be adjustable. So the question is has anyone done this before and can offer me some insight on making the maths work? I just can't for the life of me figure it out... my high school maths was too long ago!

Or is there something in microvellum that will do this for me that I've overlooked?
