projecting rectangle onto angled plane

I am currently working to create a 3-dimensional sleeve whose ends are not parallel. Here is a picture of the shaded exterior and a plan from the side. The part giving me trouble is creating the inside surfaces. The bottom has a uniform thickness, however the top has two walls of increased thickness because it is a cross section at an angle. For this reason I cannot simply offset the upper rectangle as I did with the lower. Somehow I need to draw rays parallel with the sleeve's outside that can be trimmed to the horizontal plane at the top of the sleeve. The wireframe picture shows my progress with one line passing through. Is there any way to trim lines with a plane?

Hard to determine exactly what you are after, but generally I will reorient the UCS and use the slice command, specify the axis to use, etc.

If something I wrote can be interpreted two ways, and one of the ways makes you sad or angry, I meant the other one.

if you create the "tube" using solids, then slice the solid at the proper elevation the ends will show proper widths.  It sounds like you're trying to "replicate" a solid using lines (rays??  offset?? trim??)
