How to join two sketch rectangles with bevel?

[blackpuma]

We're designing a simple specialized cabinet. We laid out the side view in a sketch, using thin rectangles to represent 1/4" MDF board. We then extruded the rectangles to the proper depth, and voilà we had a 3D cabinet of the proper dimensions.

We decided to modify the design and I added a lid that slopes down from the top.  Beauty, piece of cake.

Except… the point where the top board and the lid meet leaves a 45° gap as can be seen in the attached image. The purple hand-drawn lines represent my desire to modify these rectangle so thaty they come together without a gap with a nice 22.5° bevel (which ideally would bevel the extruded body faces).

How do I modify the sketch to extend the the lid and top so they come together with beveled edges? I can use draft to alter the lid and top bodies, but can't figure out how to alter the sketch.

Hopefully I'm understandingt the problem correctly.  What I would do is this.  Starting from something like your picture:

Insert a line (any length) in the gap:

Then add an angle dimension between the two, and set it to 22.5 degrees:

Then, draw a horizontal line from the point on the right side:

and then another line from the point on the left to the endpoint of the previous line:

Is that what you had in mind?

Jeff,

This was very helpful. I'm still learning the ropes and was able to create two correctly-beveled panels.

Thank you!
