Shadow Taper

Access: Open this function from one of the following locations:

  • Click the button in the toolbar.

  • Select Solid > Modification > Shadow Taper from the menu bar.

Create a taper face starting from a curved face (round or fillet).

This function tapers selected faces that have a common edge with selected round faces; i.e. it adds draft on features that already have rounds in place.

Notes:

  • When creating a taper, the Automatic Preview operation may be time-consuming. A checkbox in the Preferences enables you enable/disable the Automatic Preview option in the Feature Guide when executing the Taper function.

  • The default color of the taper faces is defined in the Preferences.
