Hey guys need some help
I’m trying to layout a five sided curio cabinet. Any ideas on how to do this I can’t figure out how to get the 22 ½ degree angle needed.

Re: Five sided cabinet
You will have to do everything manually for something like that Jim.
Create the top, bottom and shelves with Display Panels edited in the Part Editor to the shape you want. You can save a lot of time here after you create the first part. With the edited part in Contour Mode of the Part Editor, right-click and choose "Create Edges." Then save the outline in your tools folder. Then for all the other parts simplly take them into Contour Mode and open the outline file you just saved and use it to create the parts.
For the sides I would suggest using one of the pre-defined Conestoga doors and select "Frame Only" and "Display with Glass" on the "General" tab.
Then align all of the items in the Cabinet Editor and save as an assembly.
