Attached is the project of a 90 degree angle bracket. The pic shows 3 views.
#1 and #2 show the from and side view of the bracket (also from the project file)
#3 shows the revised model
Question:
is it easier to slice the bracket to move the bottom of the bracket and re-attach OR create a new model as shown in #3?
hope this makes sense
Do I Slice or re-create model?

Re: Do I Slice or re-create model?
Assuming you wanted the widths to match, it is easier to make again.

You should use axis more cleverly.

Re: Do I Slice or re-create model?
just modify the length of the sketch, and of the slot if necessary

Another lesson learned. So no need to use Datum Planes?

Need to use Datum Planes :
* for mirror
* when multiple sketches need to have same placement
* when a sketch need Rotation THEN offset (attachment do offset THEN rotation)
* when you want to show the plane
* for mirror
* when multiple sketches need to have same placement
* when a sketch need Rotation THEN offset (attachment do offset THEN rotation)
* when you want to show the plane

I have a slight twist to this bracket that i just realized.edwilliams16 wrote: ↑Tue Mar 21, 2023 4:42 am Assuming you wanted the widths to match, it is easier to make again.

this bracket is for this inside of a bass drum. There will be 2 for the top lugs and 2 for the bottom lugs. If I may Assume not knowing anything about drumming, see pic 1
The brackets will hold metal uprights. I know i can angle the uprights to align, but rather have the brackets angled so the metal uprights are square to the brackets. So, I decided to make the bracket as 2 pieces (pic 2), the existing angle bracket and the other attachment that can pivot. this allows more precise movement and alignment between the top and bottom bass drum lugs.
i take a stab at it. Il get back if i have any issues.
thankx very much for your great work on it for me!!
