-Try to make sure that your parameters are controlling only a single dimension at a time. For example - a rectangle that has a length, width is fine.  But if you add a curve with a radius that intersects both edges, and then dimension that curves radius... you could have a problem.  Because the radius limits how far apart the sides can be.
