I have some simple questions concerning drawing a pretty simple 3D design.

I am unsure how to rotate shapes perfectly onto surfaces that are on an angle from the origin. --> if you look at the attached picture you will see that the Tx ferrite core bars (purple) are made up of two rectangles put together. I am confused on how to attach these two rectangles perfectly other then plotting it form the origin which seems near impossible. Sorry for the inconvenience. Thank you!

nOne of those Tx core bars lies along a coordinate axis, so when you sketch the outline of that, it is easy to align the two rectangles.nAfter you have created that solid, then you use the Pattern feature to rotate 7 copies to have 8 spokes around the circle.n
