    Hi all,
    Extruding at a taper is no problem, but i find the method of setting the
    angle is nowhere near precise enough. Say for a simple example if i have a
    cone to draw and i know the top and bottom circle radius, can i draw them
    both, set them the right distance apart and then taper to one circle from
    the other?

    A current project i am working on has tapered U sections, they have a fixed
    width but the height tapers off over a distance of about 10 feet (3 metres).
    Im not having a great time of drawing them

    Thanks,
    Shaun

    Try LOFT instead. Draw the sections where you want them, then LOFT.
