I am new to shapr and am trying to make a model that uses some geometry that I am not sure how best to attack. I am trying to connect corners of these two bodies at the intersections of the triangles but I dont know how best to go about it. Every time I try and make a line it doesnt seem to be where I need it to be. and without a flat plane, I am not sure how to create an appropriate sketch plane. Thanks for any help!

Hi @wzkd ,  
I can’t visualize what your model will be, so this may not be much help…  
You can add a construction plane with the **3 Points** option. Use the two points you are interested in, and select the 3rd point based on how you want that plane to be positioned.

Thanks! That helped and was able to do what I needed.
