Sweet
Also if anyones interested I worked out after about half an hour of serious trigonometry how to make an almost perfect replica of this exclamation Mark in techne which is what I want to base it off;
So if I have 7 segments of length 2 all at 21.5 degrees to each other and the two side blocks which are inclined at 4 degrees to the vertical ;a perfect curve
And 7 segments of length 3 at the top all at 23.5 degrees to each other and the side blocks ;another perfect curve
Then if the length of the side blocks are 30 (almost the right length they should be; was supposed to be 33)
It comes out to make a 99% fit
Just shows how desperately bored I got..... And yes I probably do have OCD
But still I am pretty chuffed I could use maths to solve this problem
edit: thought i should correct a mistake that i had made which fortunately i corrected before starting the model
