      By the sounds of it you should first of all make the legs either groups or a component. It isn't to clear what your geometry looks like but I would create the rail independently as another group, then move it up to the right location, if you make the rail so it is longer than the gap between the legs you can then open the group for editing and "intersect with model". This will allow you to trim the surplus off the rail. Job done?

        Glenn, Check out my Project Beam plugin.

        Nothing is worthless, it can always be used as a bad example.

          My first thought was TIGs Extrude Edge By Vector To Object

          Edit: little example...

            Fredo6's Vector push pull will allow you to select the vector (direction) of the extrusion (in this case the ground plane). You will have to do an Intersect to allign the final face with the other leg however...

              Much appreciated for all the great help. I don't feel so dumb in that there wasn't really an easy answer I wasn't getting...

              @cotty - that is exactlywhat I was trying to do in your image!

                        Hi folks.

                        If the bar between the 2 leg has a rectangular or square cross section, it can be done quickly. See attached SU file for ideas.
