Putting an element on the drawing "flat"

[dr.kaban]

I designed a cat's house, where almost every element is at various angles to XYZ planes. I would like to create drawings for those elements (walls, roof, etc) where their key projection on the drawing is "flat". How do I do it? I hope I am making myself clear enough by the means of pictures attached. As an example - one of the walls, almost impossible to get the angles and dimensions for cutting that element out of the plywood 😞

I believe that you are looking for Construction plane at angle, but you could also create each piece as its own component and move them into place in the assembly.

Hi,

named view is the method of choice.
Procedure:
With the „look at“ tool the desired ( flat ) surface is marked.
In the browser, this is then adopted as an individual view under views "named view" and given a name.
In the drawing environment this can then be created as view and dimensioned.

I found this video very helpful for building and editing things.

Once you have a wall built, you can copy and modify it in the sketch to change its shape or cutouts.
