Tilting back the bulkhead

Hi Guys,

I am totally new to CAD so fumbling around in the dark.

Appologies for what might be a repeated question, I normally search for questions first but lacking the terminology for what I want to do is making it a little difficult!

here is my little project that I hope to get my friend with a 3d printer to make for me.

here is the wooden thing im using in the model right now.

the bulkhead (with the holes) needs to tilt backwards on the vertical by 3 degrees.

in case you are interested, this is what its going in.

Im sure i have missed something really obvious! 

Thanks in advance,

Ade

    Scrapped the old one and remade it as you advised, Im starting to get the feel of it now. It seems to be quite happy to run on the chromebook too. 

    who would have thought it... cad in a browser on a £200 mini laptop.

    Hi Adrian
    Great to hear you are making progress

    From the cost of your Mini Laptop I take it that you live in the UK, which area, I live in West Yorks.

    Nice job you made of My First Thingy, next time try using the Array tool to create the two webs.

    I wonder if by "Array"you mean "(Linear) Pattern"?

    Yes I did mean "(Linear) Pattern", just a slip-up in terminology from another CAD package.
