      How would I go about tilting an extruded leg, as for a stool. Kicker is, the stool has only three legs. I tried tilting my 2 dimensional half drawing of the leg before extruding, when I made copies and moved them to their proper locations 120 degrees apart from each other, then rotating them on a an axis from the top, they would appear to rotate, but would still be tilted in the direction of the original. Tried tilting the extruded legs once they were spaced but couldn't get them tilted accurately.

      May all your dimensions be the sum of their total.

        I guess I would tilt one leg component first and Copy/Rotate about the center of the stool. That would result in the proper tilt angle on all three legs. This would work for any number of legs and would result in the proper part of the leg facing inward on all leg components.

          Thanks, Dave. I had thought that copy/rotate should do that and went back and fiddled with it, and finally figured it out.
