Gigi Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 (edited) In the photo attached, I'd like to extend the green sheet metal part along it's axis until it hits the centerline of the fitting on the wall behind it. Does that make sense? I tried "to point" and the center of that fitting, but IronCad doesn't understand. Also tried "to midpoint of two points or edge. is there a trick for this? And a related question, I'd also like to know how to rotate the part around one end until the other end hits a certain plane. For instance if you're making a ramp. You start with a horizontal part and raise the other end by a certain vertical distance... Edited January 4, 2023 by Gigi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the cylinder runs past the plane I'm extending then can I use it as the point to extend to? I'll try it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Extend the sheet metal flap too far, and extend a calendar out of the middle of the port past the sheet meta. Then trim the cylinder to the sheet metal part and I can extend the sheet metal flap to the center of the trimmed cylinder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
