It assures the protractor is working perpendicular to the edge regardless of how the edge is oriented. Medeek Wall is a SketchUp Extension that provides a simple interface for creating accurate 3D wall framing geometry within SketchUp. That’s where the drag-along-edge technique comes into play. That means there is no single edge joining them and you can’t select both faces at the same time! It’s probably a solvable problem, but much messier than the problem sounds at first.īe careful with the protractor - that is the way I used to do it, and if you aren’t careful to be perpendicular to the line, you end up with results that can be off. The main issue I see for writing a plugin is that the faces for which you want the miter angle can be in different components or groups (perhaps “should” if you are modeling board-by-board).
So maybe a plugin to do the math would be a good thing.
The angle you need to measure can be confusing and not at all intuitive when you see what they are numerically. Īctually, since most saw tilts start with right-angle-to-table as 0, you also have to reduce the angle and subtract from 90. Of course, you still need to know what measurements to make compound miter cuts are called compound for a reason. I usually make the cut in step 5 a little long and then sneak up on the exact length through multiple trimmings. Use piece 2 to mark where I need to cut the miter on piece 1. Position piece 1 correctly on the picture (or wood) 5.
For the plugin I suggested you need to divide by 2 for the miter, as it gives you the angle between faces. Cut the correct miter on the end of piece 2 4.
