2D or 3D Sketch

[spiker7221]

I'm new to Inventor 2014 and am having trouble with it's capabilities.

I have a vertical part..rotated in several directions (see below). The top and bottom needs to be level with the ground plane when all is done. Chopped flat.

 

Plan view - rotate it 37.023 degrees

South elevation - rotate it 2.46 degrees to the left.

West elevation - rotate it 8.75 to the right.

 

I tried to create a 3d void in the South view, but it first needs a plane to start.....which is rotated and skewed a bit. Can I project a sketch in the South view and use as a void to remove from the piece?

 

Thanks for any help.

There were no dimensions in Sketch1?

I got lost from there.

So sorry for that. I figured it out. I created a plane by using Angle to Plane Around Edge. I enabled the visibility of my XZ plane and Z axis. Worked like a charm.

 

Here's my end result. What do you think?

 

Thanks for your reply,

I assume you are going to use some assembly constraints.

This might be an interesting solution (see attached).
