Dear fellow-shapers,
im absolutely new to 3D-modeling and although quite experienced in different scientific approaches and complex program environments the inherent logic of 3D-modeling is strange…
I‘m trying to design a dovetail plate with a trapezoid cross-sectional area.
The main body is no problem, but I don’t get the recessed screw-slits to be perfectly aligned in the middle of the plate.
My problem, as I understand it, is that I want to align a sketch with a surface.
Unfortunately I‘m not sure what’s the right approach to get this plate designed.
Perhaps it‘s best to first work with a rectangular sketch, extrude it to a cuboid and get the trapezoid shape afterwards, but perhaps I‘m missing the point in aligning those slits?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Cheers Chris
