OK.
New patio.

I am building a new path running down the garden, off the patio, to the shed.
There is some flexiblity as to where the path can 'land' at the shed.

I want the path to be 'square' off the patio, not equal off my fence, or neighbours fence, or square off the shed, reason being they are all different angles, and if I do it square off any of them, it will look odd.

But my question is thus:
How do you make a long path 'square' off another object, in this case a patio? Dont want to do it by eye as I am cack-eyed at the best of times. Ill build it then realise its pissed.

Help me here lads please
