Taper Face (Legacy)



Used to taper one or more faces on a solid.

In operation, you can select one or more faces as follows:

  • After selecting the solid, as you move the screen pointer over it, the face nearest the pointer is highlighted. A data point selects the highlighted face, which remains highlighted.

  • You can select additional faces using <ctrl+data points>. That is, press <Ctrl> and move the pointer until the required face is highlighted. While holding down the <Ctrl> key, enter a data point to select the highlighted face.

  • To select a face that is behind another in the view, enter a data point (or <ctrl+data point>) on the face, which highlights the nearest face. Then enter Resets until the required face is highlighted.

  • You can use Resets also to deselect an incorrect face. Where a number of faces have been selected, consecutive Resets will deselect them in the reverse order (that is, the last face selected is the first face deselected).
