Shaker Style Rectangular Tapered Leg

Step 7 Create Sketch for Bottom of Leg Taper

Hover over the edge line for the new plane, or select the plane from the Design Explorer to make it the active plane on which to create a sketch.

Activate 2D Sketch to create a new sketch on the leg bottom plane.

We will draw the outline of the leg bottom on this plane to define two sketches for the ends of the leg taper. We will use these two sketches to create a Loft Boss for the tapered portion of the Leg, that tapers from 1 1/2" to 1 1/4".

Orient to Sketch Plane if required.

Select the Rectangle by Two Corners tool to create the rectangle for the leg bottom.

Hover over the Origin icon until the cursor graphic changes to show the Origin is active and Left Click the mouse to select the Origin.

Move about 1 1/4" over the right and down click to specify the opposite corner of the leg bottom rectangle.

Dimension the rectangle so that it is 1 1/4" on each side and label the Parameters as Bottom_Thick for the Vertical Dimension, and Bottom_Width for the Horizontal Dimension.

Exit the Sketch by pressing the Activate 2D Sketch button again to terminate the leg bottom sketch.

NOTE: You can also Generate to Last Feature or press F5 to Regenerate All and terminate the sketch.
