Put bent surface into a family table

Hy!

I've created a surface with curved section, as seen on the following picture:

Not a big deal, just an extrusion (or sweep through a straight line). That's the semi-finished product.

Now, the finished product is bent, like this:

Again no problem to design, a sweep can do it.

The problem is that I can't put them in a family table. I want the first semi product to be the generic, and the bent one to its "children" because there are different size of bend radiuses.

I can't find a feature or dimension to get this working. Although I tried to sweep through a straight line and a curved one, and then suppress one or the other in the family table, but i dont think this is the "clearest" way to do it.
