A weird corner in a kitchen remodel ate up my whole morning

Trying to fit a sheet around a soffit with plumbing vents coming out at different angles. What should have been a quick cut and hang took me almost 4 hours of fiddling. Anyone have a good trick for measuring those oddball three-way corners?

Oh man, "three-way corners" are the worst. I've been there. What finally worked for me was making a cardboard template first. Just cut up an old box, trace the shape against the wall, and keep trimming until it fits. Then use that to trace onto your sheet. Saves a ton of headache trying to measure those crazy angles.

My buddy tried that and still messed up twice.

Did he try using a level or just eyeball it?
