A Terrific Tinkercad Tower with Accurate Angles! Thanks, ZDP189 for the Skill!

Thanks for the shout out. When I measured off the original. If I was working from the Double Trapezoid, I'd just have used the known dimensions off that.

[@danko6582]

Another way is to just make the Double Trap a few mm narrower on one side, Duplicate and Rotate 90 degrees and group them.

That makes a lot of sense! 💯🔥

I think when I was fiddling with the original shape I noticed that the "groove" may have been tapered too... We could have solved that with the awkward trap. Great exercise either way and thanks again for the math skills!

​@@HLModTechEngineering is math heavy. Fortunely it's applied math. This links back to what Chris Woods was saying today in Twitter, about how STEM should relate to other parts of the curriculum.

Kids can handle more math than we'd think. In kindergarten we were doing arithmetic and a little multiplication. I also remember how learning to draw with LOGO at age 9-10 we had to jump ahead and learn Trigonometry or there'd be no way to draw closed shapes like triangles.

Thanks for reacting Wow! to one of my Tinkercad creations! I really appreciate it.

[@HLModTech]

My pleasure. Have a glorious day and keep tinkering! 💯🔥

Very cool exercise.

[@HLModTech]

Thank you! I middle school math for 6 years, so it is always fun to see how math can make something easier.

[@JerryBWagoner]

@HLModTech amen. In high-school I flunked algebra twice. Out of desperation the counselor sent me to this new experimental class called computer programming (on Apple2e). I aced it never realizing I was mathing along the way. Just had to be applicable.

That cruise + rotate 90° trick is pretty slick!

[@HLModTech]

Thanks! I used to use a copy, paste and drop skill, but that seems to make more sense to users.
