Build a guitar pick

another total newb question from a total newb…I am racking my brain trying to figure this out. I am trying to design a simple guitar pick shape that I can manipulate the dimensions on. I’ve tried laying out a simple triangle and playing with the 2 point arc, but that does not seem to do it because it always want to pull the arc from a midpoint. Thats the only thing I can think to do. What way would y’all attack this?

Do you want to try it together?

Are you thinking a Reuleaux triangle or do you want the points rounded as on a guitar pick, too?

Triangle to Reuleaux Triangle using Arc (not 2-Point Arc).

Then round the corners with 2-Point Arc tool. I drew one arc and then use Rotate/Copy to make the other two.

Pics come in all shapes and sizes so if you are designing your own don’t forget you can just eyeball it and mirror.

another way is to use Voronoi & Conic Curve plugin.
You make a triangle, select the tool ‘conic curve on face’ and boom. there’s your pick!
(you can adjust points and weight by pressing tab)
