1) In the ribbon, under Sketch, choose Trim.

Alternatively, use hotkey T.

2) Click the two lines that you want to trim away to create a "step" in the bottom of the triangle.
Notice that the line turns red before you trim it, so you know what you're removing.

3) Above the ribbon, click the disk icon to save your part. Give it a name, and save it inside the Shopbot push stick project.
