Hey #FreeCAD community!
I'm looking for some advice regarding how to add a 45 degree chamfer to an odly shaped area in a rounded corner.

Thank you very much for your ideas and proposals! The final solution was proposed by Shalmeneser in the FreeCAD forum.
The #FreeCAD forum is just amazing!
First reply after 40 minutes - reply with the solution I'm going to adapt after 59 minutes. Shalmeneser nailed it using a DatumLine and a DatumPlane. If you're interested, I've asked some nerdy detail questions in the forum 🤓
My example showing the proposed solution from Shalmeneser is attached.
@M4x Can you do a revolved cut of your triangular profile with the center of rotation being an axis that passes through the center of your outer corner radius? Or do you want a straight chamfer? If so, I would do a symmetric extruded cut of your profile.
@chrishuck I tried to use a groove but either cut not enough or too much
@M4x It’s crude, but I often use a subtractive box: just angle it and position it to plane off what you need
@rrmutt The rounded corner is the problem
@chrishuck @NUeB @rrmutt Yes, exactly
