Detail Components, can the Batt Insulation be modified at the end?

I thought there was a way to get Batt Insulation to taper at the end and still keep the Batt loops while going smaller.  Is there a way to do this?

 

See my attempt to draw it attached.

Ok, so after playing around with it again, I figured out where I went wrong.

 

To Taper your Batt Insulation...

 

- Go to Detail Component Manager

- Select Thermal/Moisture Protection ->Thermal Insulation ->Batt Insulation->(Whichever R-Value You'll be using)

- Select your starting point for your insulation then select your alignment (Right, left, center)

- Select the end point for your insulation (2nd point)

- Hit "Enter"

- You'll be prompted with "Select First point of first Taper Boundary"when you are, pick your top boundaries. - (so if you want to taper the right side from 12" to 6" starting 2' from the end, pick a point at the 12" height  2feet away then pick a point 6"high at the end of your insulation line.)

- DON'T Hit "Enter"

- Then select your top boundaries of your second taper point in the same way.

 

(See Attached image for Clarification)

 

Hopefully this helps!!
