What Box wrote. I welded the edges. By the way, edit the style and set the Profiles to 1. It’ll make errors like your face dividing edge easier to spot. ---

ok got it, i think my version needs to be updated to see Weld in the menu, just updating now. Let me throw another curve ball at you, i also want to make this mounting plate like a 45deg angle wedge (if that makes sense). Can you pull a surface around an axis for example? ---

it doesn’t have to be exactly 45, something around that. ---

yes, exactly this. Although thinking about it, those 4 screw holes would need to be at right angles to the top surface ---

45 is quite steep but… You can always offset the holes so they have flat tops. ![GIF 19-12-2021 12-13-15 PM](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/sketchup/original/3X/d/f/df1fabe1c827cec3ab702727fe381d01d2771bad.gif) ---

Hi Box, can you explain how you made the holes go through the solid and created the flat tops? ---

I made the cut in the wrong place, but I’m sure you get the idea. ![GIF 19-12-2021 10-51-43 PM](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/sketchup/original/3X/0/f/0f4344dd7e8784e25a67b311d80ac63a9fb0ce26.gif) ---
