How to move using presision at random angle?
in my screenshot, i rotate the whole object in edit mode (any random angle so the axis won't line up with the grid). I want to add a segment or edge (blue line in the screeshot). I can do this with subdivide, but how to precisely make it exactly 1 unit from the red edge? What is the fastest workflow ? is there anyway in Blender i can hava a custom construction plane ?
Thanks

you just rotated your object. In Local Space your Object is still aligned and you can still just move it along the (I guess) Y axis for a distance of 1. Is that what you want? I will make an answer from it if it is

In your example everything is at right angles. If not ( a triangle for instance) do you want blue edge to be parallel with red, or with ends 1 unit from corners along edges.

You can select a face, turn the transform orientation to "normal", then click the plus button: this will create a new set of trasform orientation that you can use to manipulate your vertices, edges and faces along the three normal vectors of the first face you selected.
Then in the overlays section you can activate the measurement function, to get infos of edges lenghts and faces areas.
