Hi;

I would like to apply taper in just one direction as you can see in the image below.

How is it possible in Houdini?

In this case you may need to fall back to a Pointdeform Sop or a lattice.

If your taper direction is Y for example and the scaling directions are X and Z, you can also store the original point, apply your taper and restore one component after the taper operation. This is only a quick workaround.
