Rotating a sketch / other way to do this,

Hello!
Here's a pic of my sketch =
My idea is to have that circle & arc combo that I have up top also at those yellow circles. The problem is that since the constraints on the arc are horizontal, it doesn't translate to the angles versions on the sides.
Is there a better way to do the arc bit or could I rotate my sketch so that all 3 sections all use their own local horizontal constraints somehow?
I appreciate any and all help!
Cheers.
Eric

Given a choice, I most of the time would rather do a feature patten, rather than a sketch pattern

So you could either do a composite or there’s other solutions, such as doing an overlap of the inner cylindrical parts with the outer shell, or separating the cylinders from the shell. Or you could extrude the little wings up to the same elevation as the top of the cylinders and that’ll take care of it
Why didn't you draw your part on the default planes?
I apologize for the late response, but I've been swamped and unable to work on this. Looking at your sketch I instantly wanted to slap the past me. It really was not a difficult problem, even for me as a beginner but I must of gotten trapped in a box of my own making which made me unable to see this solution.
I really appreciate the help and effort.
Cheers!
