Hi Kirill, 

Do you know how to modify the code for 90-degree bend waveguide such that it creates a waveguide of an arbitrary angle instead of 90 deg?

# 90 degree waveguide bend

# This object makes a 90-degree waveguide bend with angled sidewalls.

#

# Input properties

# base angle: sidewall angle of the waveguide

# base height: height of the waveguide

# base width: width of the waveguide base

# radius: radius of the bend

# start angle: start angle of the waveguide
