Angle Input is not changing geometry

[Olliebaldock]

Really useful app. I am looking to explore some non-orthogonal geometry, but the angle and dimensional input within the app does not affect the output. Is this something that is currently being progressed? I am working with Windows 10.

@Olliebaldock angle input should work. But, for some joint types, you cannot change the angle due to fabrication and material constraints. Specifically, you can change the angle in the plane perpendicular to the sliding/fabrication axis if it does not distort any shape of the wood into a diamond/rhombus.

So for the seven types of two-component joints (refer to the paper figure 24), the joints with so-called perpendicular sliding axes (Figure 24 b,d,f,g) can have free angles while the ones with so-called axial sliding axes (a,c,d) can't. Below are examples of T-joint types where the angle can and can't be changed depending on the sliding axis. The sliding axis (x, y, or z (default)) can be selected in the left-hand side panel.

I think this should be explained well in a future "User Manual"... Also, it would be better if the angle option is greyed-out rather than unresponsive for joint types where it cannot be edited. So I will keep this issue open until that change is implemented.

If you try out some angled geometries, let me know if it works and if you experience any problems.
