Sheet metal miter for different angles

[GRIGDEN]

I'm attempting to make a rectangular sheet metal tank with a rectangular tapered bottom outlet. The tank is made of two identical halves of sheet metal (2mm)

I can not work out how to bring the edges together which have different angles on the the tapered outlet.

Any suggestions as this must be a simple fix. ??

Hi Grigden,

I am not sure how you want it exactly, but for this kind of work you have to use the Bend w/ Stock. Set the angle of the bend and pull the stock to where you want it. Edit the stock and use the 2D Construction>Angular Construction Line.

You can use the miter command if you have made a one stock with 4 bend sides and add the a bend with a known angle and length to miter.

As shown

Started again and tried both options as you mentioned. I keep getting error messages saying the shape is to complex.

Not quite sure what you mean in the second option by use the 2D Construction>Angular Construction Line

Hi Grigden, the 2D Construction>Angular Construction Line meant to use the grid lines to control the angle. Please try to edit the the model and you will see the construction guides and its value to control the draft of the stock.
