Tapering an Extrusion

[Farzad_K]

Hello folks.

I have a question about approach to a design.

I want to be able to taper down the element I have marked stiffener from Plane1 at center pier to Plane2 at corner pier.

I am not sure if the Rib feature is the best tool to use, and I think perhaps I should have designed the stiffener as multiple ribs instead of a single vertical stiffener.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Farzad

This post does not really belong in the Support section of the forum.

If you read the description under “support” that will become clear.

I actually looked carefully before posting and didn't find another community that it was more suitable for. Perhaps you can tell me which one?

Thanks

So you defiled a surface and rotated it...then combined the result, and got rid of the extra - clever, thanks.

Normally questions concerning design, design processes and tricky problems should be posted on the Design, Validate & Document Forum.  The Fusion 360 Support Forum is normally used to troubleshoot and report application issues.

Yes, I cut the webs, with a sketch from your setting up, but I had to change an earlier Extrude to New Body first, to stop cutting the small post.  When done, I rejoined the small posts back in to one body, with the Combine.

Got it, thanks.
