Creating a adjustable angle to cut a mesh and creat an offset piece

Hello everyone. Can some one please help me with this.
I want to create from right view, a starting point and two lines going straight up and straight forward, so 90 degree angle. Then a middle line also coming from the centre point where I can change the angle.
With the middle 45degree angle line, extrude that to create a surface. Then offset the surface in both directions top and bottom with a distance. Create a solid object from the top and bottom planes.
Then use that new 45 degree positioned box to Mesh Bolean Split my import mesh. And finally offset the resulting middle cut mesh section with a distance as a solid object.

I was able to do this in 1 minute using normal rhino 6. But because I repeat this process 10 times a day, I thought it would be amazing to have grasshopper repeat these for me.

Can anyone please help me.
Here is a screen shot of what I mean.

Thank you.

Here is the procedure as points.

(1) Start point set
(2) Line generated from start point up lenght
(3) Line generated from start point forward lenght
(4) Angle line generated from start point with adjustable angle in-put
(5) Extrude angle line to create surface.
(6) Offset surface top and bottom with same distance in-put
(7) Solid object created from top and bottom surface.
(8) Mesh Bolean Split. New Angle Object from Import Mesh.
(9) Offset middle split section with overall distance in-put

The procedure you describe sounds overly complex. I would just rotate a box:

edit: I have used the Offset Mesh component from the plugin Putterfish, you can replace it with whatever mesh offset component you like

Thank you so so much !! :slight_smile:

These is a super script. Works great. Thank you.
