EDIT: Just played with Inventor a bit to verify something. Face Draft is an even better and easier way to do a compound miter like this. It takes two steps, but it's still pretty simple. Play around with it a little.
You solved it! Thanks. I knew there must be an easy way to do it. I appreciate your help.
