Sloped & Tapered Wall

How would I model a Tapered wall that stays flat at the top but the base varies from 4.5m to 6m deep? Any help is appreciated

Do you mean the base has different thicknesses or different elevations?

Different elevations

Then model a normal tapered wall and attach it's base to the sloped slab. If you don't have a sloped slab, edit the wall profile, or draw a sloped ref plane and attach the wall base to it.

Is there any chance you could show me some step by step? Im not familiar with how to attach to the bottom

Select the wall, click Attach Top/Base button on the Ribbon, choose Attach Base, select the sloped slab at base

By creating a sloped ref plane and adding the base of the wall to it would it stretch the wall downwards until it came into contact with that slope of the plane?

No. You don't have to stretch anything. Use Attach Top/Base to attach the wall base to the plane.

And I just looked at your picture, you clearly have a sloped slab then just attach the wall base to the slab.

Alright that makes sense, Thanks a lot!

Ive come across an addition to this problem, how would i attach the base of the wall to extend below the slab rather than stop at the top of the slab?

Go to an elevation, draw a ref plane at the bottom of the slab, attach the wall base to it.
