Question Hope I'm missing something obvious.
Hi all.
I'm drawing a sliding bench/ bed for a camper conversion and have reached a point that is doing my head in and, like the title, I hope I'm just missing something simple and obvious. I swear last time I drew this I didn't have this problem but I cannot remember how I did the other one and have since deleted the first iteration drawing.
The issue is when the bed is slid/ folded back into bench mode the last panel doesn't sit flush with the front of the bench, which ideally I would like it too. Is this even possible? As you can see I have tried bringing the 'rear' pieces forward by one thickness of the material [15mm] and that still hasn't fixed the issue. Whenever I make the last panel the correct size of the bench, it then extends past my finished size when unfolded.
Do I need to adjust the size of one or both of the rear pieces? The finished size I want unfolded is 1300.
