    <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Is it possible to create a tapered object like the one in this image which acts as follows, I've been trying allsorts and no joy.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Distance 1 will set the size of the biggest side.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Distance 2 will set the size of the smallest side, keeping the angle of 68 and setting the length of Distance 3 automatically.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;IMG src="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/196492i226FC6F0B4AC8199/image-size/original?v=mpbl-1&amp;amp;px=-1" border="0" alt="TAPER.png" title="TAPER.png" /&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;If I understand correctly, you have set lengths for distances 1 &amp;amp; 2, and your angle must remain 68 deg. &amp;nbsp;If this is a correct assumption, this is how I did it. &amp;nbsp;I will use specific lengths for my example. &amp;nbsp;I drew a line "distance 1" = 4 units, and to the left at a random point, a line "distance 2" = 2.6", beginning the second line at the bottom point exactly horizontal from the bottom&amp;nbsp;point of line 1. &amp;nbsp;I then drew a line of random length from the top endpoint of line 1 by typing in at the command line: "@6&amp;lt;202" which starts the line at the proper origination point and at the desired angle. &amp;nbsp;This line is purposefully too long. &amp;nbsp;Then I moved line 2 to the left or right, depending on where it was drawn in relation to line 1, by picking the top point and moving orthoganally until the endpoint intersects&amp;nbsp;the angled line where the second point is then picked. &amp;nbsp;Lastly, I drew a line "distance 3" from endpoint to endpoint at the bottom, which turned out to be in my example, 3.465 units in length. &amp;nbsp;Then the angled line can be trimmed from line 2.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;This method requires that Polar or Orthoganal tracking be turned on, Autosnap on with settings "intersection" and "endpoint" (minimally) checked, and keyboard entry for precise lengths and angles.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;My image file skills are not very good. &amp;nbsp;I created 7 but seem to only be able to attach 3 so I picked hopefully the most helpful ones. &amp;nbsp;I am not skilled enough to put them all into one file that is small enough apparently. &amp;nbsp;I hope this helps.&lt;/P&gt;</description>
