Cannot for the life of me figure out how to make this mate... help!
(OP)
I am trying to mate this gusset parallel to the large tube.
Using a parallel mate i have attached the edge to the box component but cannot figure out how to pin down the other side, its sorta flapping in the breeze right now.
its a compound angle and is NOT tangent to the outside of the large tube making it rather difficult. being a compound angle, it is even tough to determine what the angle between the box component and the tube at the desired location of the gusset... any ideas, screen shots attached.

roughly manually positioned, this is what i want.
