From the Modify drop down in the Model work space, you can use the Edit Face command to accomplish this. Please review the below video and let me know if it helps!

hi go to "SCULPT" mode, "MODIFIY" and "EDIT FORM" from the "Selection Filter" select the Edge.

If you have a Model box, right click on the face and use Move. A manipulator allows you to rotate the face and thus create a taper.

i'm trying to move the part with all the fillets so that part goes down to 15mm from 30mm and tapers the long part down....hope that makes sense

Okay, the picture really helps.

 

 

The Move command is a good choice here. Move is dependent on selection. So start by selecting the faces on top of the shape you need to taper.

Next, right click and pick Move. You will need to reorient the manipulator.

Then rotate the surface around the new base point of the manipulator.

I'm trying to tilt one of my faces, but when I use the Move tool and try to select just the face, it keeps selecting the whole body.  Here's my design

Hi,

 

The tools and workflows shown above are only available in Direct Modeling, or DM, or "history free". When this post was originally made, Fusion had no history or parameters. Check out the pictures, there is no timeline.

 

Currently, to work this way you can do one of three things.

 

1. From a parametric design with a timeline (default workspace), you can pick Base Feature. This creates a "history free" (DM) feature in your timeline. It could be any kind of modeling you want to do without any parameters, including move face.

* Caution: you can only use DM tools on bodies you create while working in any one particular Base Feature. You cannot modify parametric bodies.

2. From a parametric design, turn off history. Use the Gear icon, lower left by the end of timeline, and pick "Do not capture design history".

* Caution: you will lose all of your model history when you do this. If you turn history back "ON" you do not retrieve your old history, only create new.

3. Start new designs as DM by turning off history in Preferences as your default modeling mode. While you are there, check out the other preferences you can set!

Sorry, forgot to answer your main question:

 

Use the draft command to tilt faces in Parametric Modeling.
