Taper Solid by Extrusion Along Path

Hi

Is it possible to create a solid along a path that starts as a cylinder and tapers down to a rectangular or square end?

Image attached should demonstrate what I'm after.

Any help is appreciated.

  • Thanks Ron, I didn't know the direction of the arrows could be changed. That's helped a lot.
  • Hi Josh,

    This video show how to adjust the start point and direction of the profiles used with Sweep Surface Along tool.

  • Does Microstation calculate the best arrow alignment as default?

    I've spent a while trying to figure out how the tool works. I have tried many different alignments in an effort to get them point in the same direction but none gave me as a good a result as the default positions. I'm a little confused because the default positions don't appear to be aligned at all.
  • Swept Surface along Curves is the right tool for this. Make sure that the points on the shapes(2-3) are aligned (same start, direction).
