Rhomboid/parallelogram adjustment

raptorhelicopter — Fri, 25 Dec 2020 22:52:51 GMT

Hi all,

First time poster but probably not the last!

New to CAD/Fusion but i've spent hours looking at videos/tutorials etc and i'm struggling with this.

Basically i'm building louvres and i need uneven ends, the top/bottom is 160mm but the left is 131mm and the right 146mm. I cannot for the life of me figure out how the heck to make one these dimensions. I have the rectangle and the louvres built but how can i edit the base to suit?

Please attach your model so the forum users can assist you. If you do not know how to attach your model, open it in Fusion360, select the File menu and then choose Export and save the .F3D file to your hard drive. Then use the Attachments section of a reply forum post to attach it.

I hope I am understanding your desire for modification. Model is attached. By the way, you need to always solve any Yellow or Red warning in the timeline. This one is so easy, edit your first sketch and change the one side of the rectangle from a construction line to an object line. I have already done it in my model, do it for understanding in yours. DO NOT let errors accumulate, solve them when they occur!

Hi,

1. sketch 1: change construction line to single line > X

2. if angles are known use "Draft"
