Use `Protractor` to check the angles. ![angle-05](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/sketchup/original/3X/d/a/da3c579c5978e4e21d96dc4bd60c8e815271286d.gif) ---

In fact, what 3D model do you want to create? Dimensions, angles, bevel… ---

[explode.skp](https://forums.sketchup.com/uploads/short-url/ysWL4XPeCaXWIZeeVMRLSz1KEO6.skp) (46.7 KB) Something like that. it comes to together to make a climbing wall volume. I have the tool to construct it out of plywood i just need to know the angles for the cuts so it comes together nice and sits flat on the wall 😃 ---

In desktop version of Sketchup you could install a plugin: [Angle Between Faces](https://extensions.sketchup.com/en/content/angle-between-faces) The plugin will tell you exactly the angle, just by right-click on one and only one line that is adjacent to two and only two faces. And you can reconfirm that angle by the method I already showed you, with Protractor. ![angle-06](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/sketchup/original/3X/4/a/4a1741f33d4ce59c1a6ac2f7d4b477a6a7d1930a.gif) ---

And if you want to document the angle for use in your workshop, try the [Angular Dimension 2](https://sketchucation.com/plugin/1879-angular_dimension_5) plugin from the SkecthUcation Plugin Store. It looks as though @mihai.s used it his first post.
