intersect point

In the sketch mode, when I try to use the point defined by 2 intersecting elements of the model as a selection for placing a line, it doesn't seem to recognize that point. Any thoughts?

Can you post a screen shot of what you're trying to do?
If I understand what you're saying it sounds like you may need to project to sketch the edges of the elements as reference figures and then, maybe, place a point at the intersection of those projected lines.

The red lines represent the rectangle that I tried to draw by selecting the corner of the model shown just to the right of the rectangle as the starting point. This is blown way up to show how it missed my intended insertion point. I'm now thinking that HaroldL hit the nail on the head...I should have projected onto the plane first.
Pretty much a noob here, so be gentle.1665689488546.png

I just tried HaroldL's method and it worked a charm! I'm learning...slow but sure...Thanks for the guidance and quick responses.
