[Plugin] Taper Maker v1.3.5 - Apr 2012 Update

[Plugin] Taper Maker v1.3.5 - Apr 2012 Update

Postby max-cx » Mon Apr 30, 2012 10:08 pm

Two new taper (extrusion) cross sections were added to TaperMaker: right trapezoid and quadrilateral.

To create tapers using these cross sections, you must select two paths (rather than just one). The base of the cross section will follow between the selected paths, and the width of the base will vary with the distance between the paths.

Here is an example of some tapered right trapezoids:
