Can you imagine how much user interface it would take to do that? It makes my teeth itch just thinking about it.
However, in Woodturner PRO you can do something that would look like you describe:
Add a row and change the Type to wheel.
make the number of segments 6 with an outside diameter of 8”
Change the width of the spoke to 1”
Click on the Ring View to see your result.
In the wheel type, the spoke is a rectangular segment and one spoke is glued to each regular segment. As you change the width of the spoke, it will change the Segment Edge Length of the regular segment.
The downside is that not all of your joints will point to the center as they do with standard closed-segment rings. When the wall profile changes, some of the joints will appear to be curved. Many will marvel at your ingenuity wondering how you made curved joints.
