Variable angle chamfer?

Is it possible? I'd like to be able to basically chamfer an edge that will
change angles along that edge. I don't know if I'm making any sense? Any
thoughts?

Thanks
Jonathan

I'm wondering if you can use the coil feature to do this.

Just tried it. It works but I think it will only
work on straight lines. if you had oval for instance I don't think it would
work. I'll post my sample in ICF.

You can't use a loft? See CF.

Or am I missing your point?

You can use a loft but I was thinking more along
the lines of the variable radius fillet. Maybe something for AutoDesk to think
about in the next release.
