Extrude at an angle

[steverrk]

Hi, I'm totally new to fusion 360, like less than 2 whole days worth of experience, so I apologize.

I'm trying to create a bracket/base for my sim flight sticks and i think I am almost there.

I'd like to create this notch, which looks easy enough with a simple rectangle/extrude, but the taper on each side has me stumped on how to best approach this. extrude isn't the proper way to do this as I've discovered.

Thanks in advanced for any help and tutorials on how to learn to do this.

You can extrude any shape you draw as a closed profile.

If doing it from scratch you can do it in one sketch.  

For hole patterns like these, use a construction rectangle.

Might help....

Hi,

For a change I can give you an answer instead of asking for them all of the time.

I ran into this issue today when I had to put in screw holes at a 20 degree angle into a part. There is probably a much quicker and easier way to do this. The method I used involved creating a Plane at an angle, drawing my Sketch on that Plane, then doing a Extrude Cut to get the shape at the angle I wanted.

It worked out ok.

Don't worry too much about apologies. Most people here are pretty good at helping. Of course many of them are Bald from tearing their hair out but we don't see that here - no selfies except the odd user icon.😎

Cheers
