You could intersec two lines to make a point.

321 or Plane Line Line

I also try to be mindful of how the print handles the relationship of the Datums. Assuming the 3 sides to your corner are Datums. If the Print calls out Perpendicularity of the Datums etc then I go ahead and sample the sides as planes as necessary.

Measure planes on each side and top>>constuct intersection lines between side planes and top plane>>create intersection point between the two lines....

You could measure/align a million ways based on the information you provided (none!)
You will have to be more specific for a straight answer....

That's why I gave him such a brief answer: CAD=PART . . .

I'm sure that was helpful...
