figure out miter angles on complex volume

I have these complex volumes:

I want to make these out of 22mm plywood. Is there a way to have fusion360 figure out the miter angles I have to cut at?

Do you mean every face is cut from a sheet of 22mm Ply at 1/2 the angle between the adjoining face?Screen Shot 2023-01-11 at 9.48.40 pm.png

 

 

The Measure tool will give the the angle...Screen Shot 2023-01-11 at 9.55.22 pm.png

Yes that is exactly what I mean. However is there a way to not have to create all the sheets myself in a sketch but extrude it in a way and have fusion do the angles automatically?

various ways you can model it, but not an automatic way.

Not that I am aware of. Your examples don't look too hard...Repetitive of course! The hardest thing will be cutting the angles less than 45 degrees! Will you CNC cut the "blanks" and then panel saw the angles as needed? (..add 1/2 a degree to allow for glue.)

Measure the face angle across the relevant edge.  Divide the answer by 2

 

 

Might help....
