Taper Faces on 3D Solids
You can taper faces with a draft angle along a vector direction. Tapering the
selected face with a positive angle tapers the face inward, and a negative
angle tapers the face outward. Avoid using extremely large tapered angles. If
the angle is too large, the profile can taper to a point before it reaches the
specified height, and AutoCAD rejects the tapering.
To taper a face on a solid object
1 From the Modify menu, choose Solids Editing ➤ Taper Faces.
2 Select the face to taper (1).
3 Select additional faces or press
ENTER to taper.
4 Specify the base point for the taper (2).
5 Specify the second point along an axis (3).
6 Specify the angle of the taper.
7 Press
ENTER to complete the command.
