Hi Heres one for the builders...its probably a simple answer....just not obvious to me  if I have half a cylinder say (x,y) 2mtr in diamater and I apply and x and y tapper to one end is there a away determining the exactly the final x and y values of the tappered end? or maybe how is the taper tool amount measured, ie percentage? Thankyou DW |

If I remember correctly, taper is a percentage.
50% taper of a 2m dia cylinder would be 1 meter, for instance.
Easiest way to check is to put another cylinder at 1m diameter next to it, in line with it, and play around with values until you see what matches.
