how to draw gusset plate or right angle triangle by using python script

[jawalev]

i have created python script for flange holder for grve flange and stuck in tringle or gusset plate,

please find below script for the same and attached image snap.

Hello, Since we dont have that shape, you would have to create two boxes. Move and rotate 45deg the second box so that you can then subtract it from the first and be left with the shape of a triangle.

thanks for your reply i have already created 2 boxes but subtract is not done properly.

You will get the idea, the rest is on you :)).
