Linear Taper

Linearly scales the geometry along its length.

See also: Twist, Bend, Taper, Squash and Stretch

Using Linear Taper

  1. Select the points to taper.

  2. Click the Linear Taper tool on the Deform tab.

  3. Choose a Primary Axis and Secondary Axis in the drop-down menus on the parameter editor.

  4. Use the Strength parameter to control the amount of tapering.

You can change the Operation of the deformation in the drop-down menu on the operation controls toolbar or the parameter editor, since twist, bend, taper, linear taper, and squash and stretch all put down the same node.

For specific parameter node help see the Linear Taper help.
