2. Choose the Front elevation view to start the path, and pick the Sketch Path button from
the Swept Blend panel. Using the Line tool (which is selected by default) start a line from
10” (250 mm) to the left of the base and continue until it intersects with the vertical plane
at a 73° angle. You’ll have a measurement roughly 2’-10” (865 mm) across the hypotenuse
of the triangle (Figure 14.40). Click the green check mark to accept the sweep.
Now you need to make the base of your leg.

3. Open the Ref. View and you’ll see two red dots and a line connecting them. The dot on
the left is the base of the leg, the dot on the right is the top of the leg, and the line between
is the path you just created. Starting with the base, choose the Select Profile 1 button and
then the Edit Profile button (Figure 14.41).
