I’m modeling a kiosk. I have a simple extruded rectangle that I need to rotate at a segment to match the photo. What technique should I use to add a segment and rotate it like in this image?

Much appreciated!

I would rotate it approximately in position and then Align faces to place it at the back of the other item.

So the bend has to be a separate Body?  
Here is the Kiosk for better visibility

Would using Split body work? Because I need this to be accurate to map the specced artwork on it later.

Here’s using **Split Body**.

or you can create the whole shape as a sketch before extruding it since it’s uniform along the width.

@Stunami. Disregard my earlier post. I misunderstood the original post and thought you just wanted to Align both parts.

Excellent! I cannot see your mouse selections. Would you mind reviewing the steps I deciphered from the video?

**I observed:**  
Step 1: Add Construction Plane  
Step 2: Select Face to anchor plane  
Step 3: Move the plane to position  
Step 4: Select tools/Split Body  
Step 5: Rotate Split Body  
Step 6: Scale bottom body up  
Step 7: Apply Tools/Union  
Step 8: Select overlap face and move to angle  
Step 9: Apply Chamfer/Fillet
