Aligning and snapping angled objects along their path

[80sTherapy]

I can't figure out how to perfectly align and snap the bottom grey "tail" of the bluetooth logo with the red rounded triangle and a couple of other shapes I copy pasted from another project.

The tails are made from the same triangles that make up the rest of the bluetooth logo, just flipped horizontally, and converted to curves. I just deleted a node to be left with the one side of the triangle(s).

Thanks in advance for the help.

I don’t fully understand what you try to achieve but this might help: rotate those objects (individually) so the objects is aligned to one of the axis. This helps to get perfect alignment.

I‘m unable to spot any triangle just from the screenshot.

Sorry that was unclear.

I created the bluetooth logo by stacking two triangles (wide stroke, no fill) on top of each other.

I then created two more, flipped them horizontally and snapped them symmetrically to the first two.

Lastly, I converted the two triangles on the left to curves and deleted the top and bottom nodes to create the two “tails".

The tails’ angle is shown to be 90s, but that seems to be the angle of the container, not the true angle of the tail. As a result, when I create a horizontal shape and rotate it to 45 degrees, the two don’t align.

I’m thus trying to find a way to snap them so they align perfectly.

Hope this makes more sense.

With help of the node tool it should be possible to match the white triangle nodes perfectly.

you can the read out the actual angle required to use for all other shapes.

The original BT logo uses 90/45 degree angles. Your version has a slightly different angle making it really hard to match everything.

just put an cross shape rotated by 45 degree to the center node. Then adjust the overall height a bit to get everything back to 45 degree or multiples.

I was actually wondering about that. I'll just redraw the logo. Thanks for all the help!
