      In Step 5 while snapping, my sketchup refuses to snap "exactly" on the endpoint no matter where I pick, are you sure it is exact?

        I change the component axis location then it works better even with the end point.

          Did you take the alignment point at the end of the line?

          The horizontal point of the end of the line don't work (on the right of the last red point on the blue line)

          OK that works only if you take the click point under your arrey drawing! Very curious!!! 😲

            Right - now I see that it infer from itself. But I get no snapping from the end-point.

                          Gilles, you're a genius! I finally had a chance to get back to look at this and your method works very nicely. I wonder if I'll be able to remember it the next time I need it.

                                      VERY clever Pilou !
                                      Bravo to you too.

                                      Here's my slight reworking of your brilliant ideas, with some explanatory notes.
                                      I think this way is a little simpler and easier to see what's happening.

                                        Cool but there is a little mystery πŸ˜‰
                                        In your file (from the mine modified) tichkness is not 1.000000m but 0.997509m
                                        CD = 1.320818 m
                                        Or you don't change the drawing and just type the text's explanations for only the theory?

                                        In a nurbs modeler with the Technic of circle (first example of Jeff video) (with of course sames measures)
                                        CD = 1.3239127 m & angle 40.945192Β°

                                        The adventure is not finished! πŸ˜„

                                          I Have no idea how you figured that out 😲 One snaps to a line that is not there until the execution. That's wild!

                                            In the example, why push pull up on the face? The whole point seems to be to find Point 'B'. (diagram THAT clause πŸ˜› )

                                            Maybe this is beyond my maths. True: the center cut line in the first picture does describe the center of the final board, call it point 'X'. B is a right angle from 'X' but it's a right angle from the board's diagonal, not from the final axis of the board. Still it lies on the edge of the board a distance d/2 from point X?brace - 1.png
