How to add details to a a tapered surface

LunarHamster — Wed, 23 Apr 2025 05:05:23 GMT

Hello! I would greatly appreciate advice on how to create the ridges shown on the model below. They are on the inside and the outside of this tapered cup.

Sorry if this is a repeat. I posted it earlier but my post seems to have disappeared.

First create the main body using a tapered extrude. Then create sketches on the faces for one of the ribs and loft.

After the loft pattern the rib around the body. In your image the ribs don't seem to be tapered so the gap between is bigger at the top.

Then repeat for the inside. See attached file.

Then use a revolve to add the chamfer.

Thank you, Mark! I learned so much just now! Showing the chamfer with revolve step was a surprise bonus!
