How to bring sketches drawn on different planes together onto the same plane?

I want to do operation like ‘sheet metal’ feature in Fusion360.  
I understand Shapr3d does not support that [yet].  
Instead, can I bring sketches drawn on different planes together onto the same plane?

Thank you.

Assuming your source and destination sketches are parallel, there are two ways to do this. If the source plane of sketches is a known distance from the destination plane then simply select the source sketches and use **Move-Rotate**.  
If the distance between sketch planes is unknown, create a construction plane on the destination sketch plane (if need be). Then select the source sketches and use the **Project** tool.

Thank you very much.  
Unfortunately, those are not in parallel.  
I’m building a kind of complex pyramid and those are not clean angle each other(like 14.6666°).  
I’ve tried them flatten by ‘Axis rotation’(not sure the menu name in English) with those subtle value, but they won’t be on a same plane.

The only thing I can suggest is, make the one plane of sketches as close to parallel as you can then use **Project**. There will be some distortion but most likely quite insignificant.

Use Projection, got it.  
I’ll try that, thank you very much!

Here’s something that may or may not be relevant.
