Solid Extrude Planar Curve > Tapered Surface Extrude Curve > Tapered |
The ExtrudeCrvTapered command creates a surface by tracing the path of a curve in a straight line tapering in or out at a specified draft angle.
Steps
- Select a curve.
- Specify a distance.
- A planar curve extrudes vertically to the curve plane by default. If the curve is not planar, the default extrusion direction is the z direction of the active CPlane.
-
The extrusion preview direction in the viewport defines the positive direction for distance input.
Command-line options
SetBasePoint
Specify a location that serves as the first point when picking two points that set the extrusion distance.
Direction
Two points establish the direction angle.
Direction steps
- Pick a base point.
- Pick a second point that establishes the direction angle.
DraftAngle
Specify the draft angle for the taper. The draft angle depends on the construction plane orientation. When the surface is vertical/perpendicular to the construction plane, the draft angle is zero. When the surface is parallel to the construction plane, the draft angle is 90 degrees.
Solid
If the profile curve is closed and planar, both ends of the extruded object are filled with planar surfaces and joined to make a closed polysurface.
Corners
Specifies how corner continuity is handled.
Sharp
The corners of the tapered surfaces will extend to meet at sharp corners with position (G0) continuity.
Round
The corners of the tapered surfaces will be filled with filleted segments with tangent (G1) continuity.
Smooth
The corners of the tapered surfaces will be filled with blend segments with curvature (G2) continuity.
DeleteInput
Deletes (Yes) or keeps (No) the input object.
FlipAngle
Toggles the draft angle direction.
