Angle a component in two directions (multi angle)

john.n.johnson — Sat, 02 Oct 2021 02:01:51 GMT

The attached illustrates a component (leg) which leans back at 51 Degrees. I need to keep this angle but also have the component angled inwards to join the top of the table. I then need to mirror the leg to the opposite side so that it too, angles inwards to joint he top of the table. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

One way to do it is with 2 sketches, one has the 51 degrees, and a plane from that line for a second sketch for the other angle.

A second way is to use a 3d sketch but harder to manage.

Might help....

Draw it flat.
Use the Draft command to put the angles on each end.
Use joints to connect it to the table top and bottom.

Hi Gunther (sorry that I could not include the "umlaut" in your name - USA
keyboard). Many thanks for your valued support. Your latest proposed
solution is simple and well explained/illustrated. I did use the Angle Plane
Feature to get the angles I needed. Your illustration is more
"scientific/accurate" and allows for more flexibility. I included a rendered
picture of the table saw outfeed solution that I needed the solution
for...thought I would share it with you.

Many thanks

John
