You can make your tapered table leg by simply cutting up a (virtual) piece of timber. Referring to the attached image:<UL><LI>1. Place a length of timber and view it in elevation. Click the menu <I></I><S><I><I></I></I></S>OBJECTiVE &gt; Tools &gt; Split<E></E>, and trace the line where you want to cut the tapered edge.<BR /> <BR /> 2. Click on the side of the cut to be removed, and the object is split in 2 along the cut line. You can delete the offcut.<BR /> <BR /> 3. Repeat the same on the other elevation (or rotate the leg about 90 degrees) and you have your completed table leg.</LI></UL><BR /><IMG src="https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/9918i324C29A16FD53985/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;px=999" border="0" alt="TaperLeg.jpg" title="TaperLeg.jpg" /> Wed, 06 Jul 2011 18:27:33 GMT https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Modeling/How-to-make-a-tapered-object/m-p/136822#M73212 Ralph Wessel 2011-07-06T18:27:33Z Re: How to make a tapered object? https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Modeling/How-to-make-a-tapered-object/m-p/136823#M73213 And then there's the complex profile method.....
