Problem with Rhombus and Rotate Tool

Tinux · 12 Nov 2009, 18:41

Hi Everybody, i can't do something which i think was simple in my brain...

This is what i would like to have (each Rhombus are the same : 3000x3000x3000x3000 at 120°) :

But this what i have always :

So how you do that ?

Thanx a lot in advance !!!!

some of the angles are variable (i used 30deg in this case)

using the shift key to get the rotate tool locked to certain axes helps a lot here.. let me know if you need a better explanation.

a possibly un-understandable step-by-step

Ahhhh !

I understand ! Before i think i started with the wrong pair... Your explication in your file was very clear ! I can now fix the angle with the degre i want first and then fit the other rhombus !

Thanx a lot, you save my time lost trying different manners to got that!
