      I don't really get why you don't just make the shape you want and take the shapes from it.
      Here's a quick version where all points are the same and although I have used two components, the second is just a mirror of the first.

        I'll have another go.

              Thanks for this one, Rich (corrected-with apologies).

              Absolute champion.

              I get what you are telling me now.

              I got caught up in learning how to use the snaps.

              Any reason why you don't want to tell me how to use the snaps?

              Again, no insult intended.

                Ok, now I'm back to where I was designing my table saw sleds.
                This design has me cutting 4 intricate cuts. Mitre and bevel on all 4 sides.
                My original design has me cutting just 3 intricate cuts.
                Leaving the 4th side (top) at right angle.
                But leaning/angling over to accomplish the same look.

                  How did you get the Rotate compass to turn black and at 45°?

                    Got it.
                    Click and hold on the green plane.
                    And release at the back.
                    Thanks again for your support and patience.

                        By the way,I have no idea who Chris is. As to snaps, I don't see them as being useful for what you are doing and they are quite finicky to set up correctly, more work than just laying things out in a way that works to begin with.

                                And off the to the shop with intricate cuts to stress about.
