How to modify heights of model created by a sketch in the X-Y pane?

Post by adi.barda »

Hello,
I have created a simple sketch with some constraints on the X-Y pane and then pad it.
Now that I have a 3D model out of my sketch, I would like to put some more constraints so that the rear and front heights of the model will not be the same size (see attachment)

And, here is the sketch that was padded:

It's a beginner question but I spent a lot of hours before submitting that question :)
Thanks you,
Adi Barda

Hi Adi and welcome! Select one of the 20 mm faces, click the Create Sketch tool, and Sketcher a triangle. Use the Link To External Geometry tool to create edges from Pad so you can constrain vertices of the triangle onto them:
