Working with Triangles
I am attempting an A-frame design. It seemed obvious to me that I need to work with triangles.

I was able to create a triangle for the tall roof on one side and then create another one but reversed for the other.

However, I am struggling with the shape for the front and back. Again, I assume I need a triangle, but I am not clear if the item found in the miscellaneous furniture list is an Isosceles or an Equilateral triangle.

Two problems:
1. The shape rotation in all planes is not intuitive. I can't seem to grab it and rotate it as I wish.
2. The shape as to which is the base, which are the sides, which is the depth and which is the height is also confusing.

Making this all more difficult is the fact that the item can disappear from view if turned one way or another.

Thanks.
