Making a (not so) simple tapered side planter box

patrick_shea

It is a simple design - 15 degree slope, side are approximately 16 " long, and 5" high.  The problem is the corners are all compound angles, and I can't figure out how to draw them.  Building it will be easier than drawing it.  Can someone guide me how to draw it properly - see attached image.

Make all parts in a single part studio; no assembly needed.  Two sketches symmetrical about origin; extrude two sides between vertices;  extrude other two sides between inner faces; extrude between outer faces to remove excess:   https://cad.onshape.com/documents/a413994eb043be22cfa7a54e/w/b2cf6d4b201a5e24499b0503/e/1b997ec6b2dab8b26692e180

Or here is an option using shell & split tools.  Design intent always comes into choices. @edward_petrillo shows good way to make the walls different.  The shell method is more efficient for changing the taper angles.

Here's another approach, with configurator, using sketch, extrude, move face and mirror
