Skew a part
Hi,
I making a part that needs to lean as you can see in the picture below. If I make the complete part with then pins and everything "straight up" first, is there a easy way to make it lean like in the picture?

@johan_nilsson050 , the selection for Extrude direction should be a straight line angled the direction you want the part to lean.

Not that I know of, but I know you can add a direction to a solid extrude. Then you could shell.

I'm thinking "sweep" - one sketch to define profile, another to define path.

Don't know what I'm doing wrong but it will not lean… when I try direction?

Johan here are two ways to model the same part (profile shape is not the same, but methodology still works).
Look at the two different configurations(top of feature tree), use the roll back bar to look at the feature progression. Same end result, using two
different methods.
