I need an object, with 45 degree angles, like on the left but with a cut-out like the line on the right.

I've tried using 'Sweep', 'Loft' and 'Rail surface' on the line, but they want to make depth angle 90 degrees instead of the 45 I need.

Going the other way, I can't figure out how to cut the correctly shaped hole in the object.

How should I go at this?

P.S. The hole can be at 90 degrees to the face, in fact, it would look better that way.

Well... This is how I would do it. I've made a bit of a video for it. I made one mistake. You have to remember to right-click after each boolean action. I hit the undo button when I accidently merged my drill and wall.


Hope this helps you out.

Glad I could help. I always try to figure out the easiest way to do something, so I'm used to "finding" shortcuts. :D
