For a simple port like that, measure right down the center, so your port there is 40.25 inches. There is a way to measure where you divide it into a sort of pie shaped at the bend using 45 degrees slices. But i bet if you did that you would be within an inch of 40.25 and thats not going to change anything.
Mid box build, but hit a snag. Need help!!
I'm working on a new box, and the distance to the end of my port and the wall is exactly the port width. Heres a pic to show what I have(sorry for the ****ty drawing)
When calculating does it stop at the end of the port? Do you add half the port width? Do you add half the port with+ half the port width, plus thickness of the wood(like the port has a bend)? If it's calculated like in my drawing, my port length would be 40.25". Wouldnt I add 1.5"+1.5"+.75, which would make the length 44"? I was thinking you treated it like another bend in the port, but want to be sure. I have everything but the port cut, so progress is stopped until i figure it out. Can someone help me out?

The total length of the port is the combined length of the 3 boxes in this file.
Red is port....green is 3/4 "mdf and grey is air space based on your measurements on your drawing.

This...blue line is your port length...
I can give you the exact cut size of the port walls if you confirm the outsize dimensions of the over all box.
