parameterization lines in space

[frade24]

Hello everyone, my name is Franciscan and I am a graduate in mechanical engineering. I'm new in the forum and I write because I can't solve a problem and on the net I found nothing that could help me or at least I can't apply it to my needs. I apologize in advance if my question is banal but I am not very knowledgeable about software and I have exclusively university teaching knowledge.

for my thesis project, I need to create two lines in space that are parametrizable. they indicate a direction of drilling (image allego). I need to parameterize the inclination in space and their reciprocal position (they are independent of each other). I tried to make reference plans on which to create these lines so as to "check" the inclination of the plans and therefore of the lines, but I can "check" only 2 parameters. I did it by inserting an excel data table. I don't know if this is the right way or not. I also tried to import coordinates through a "txt" file corresponding to the extreme points of the lines, thus obtaining in solidworks a cloud of points, but I do not know how to parameterize the same.

I hope you can help me, thank you in advance.

if you attach the file you can take a look at it without remaking everything from head
as the angles of a 3d sketch are very difficult to manage you should have a horizontal line lying on the same plane of the tilted line.
therefore always in the same sketch of the line to quote drawing a line of construction giving it as constraint x direction and then selecting also the tilted line that are on the same floor.
large lines should work, but it takes some time to verify it.

deletes what you said before, except the part where you ask the file.
you need to create the tilted plane on which to draw the lines; to do this proceed as follows:
to draw a vertical construction line on the plane highlighted in the image that matches the starting point of the line1 .
b build a plan by selecting the highlighted plan and the construction line by setting the necessary angle
c build the second floor by selecting point b and the remaining building line giving an angle of 60°

These data are manageable by data table, but you have to understand what you mean by parameterization. being a 3d parametric if you correctly tie the construction just change one or two quotas directly in the file to see the changes

Thank you very much for your answer!
I'll attach the file I created before your directions. find the default configuration and the "case1" configuration with the changes of some parameters. I managed to control all the parameters that interest me except the long distance z .
Now I try as you suggested.

This is what I managed to do through your directions! I think it's the best solution. What do you think? Now I just have to "give a name" to all those variables so as to immediately understand what parameter I am considering in the data table. You know how to tell me?

quota names must be changed before creating the data table.
delete the table, select the quota and in the property manager check the name you want

Thank you so much for your help! :Love: I hope this is the right way! now I just have to build "round"
