      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.

        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!
