Shaker Style Rectangular Tapered Leg

Step 8Create Upper Sketch for Tapered portion of Leg

Create Upper Sketch for Tapered portion of Leg
Orient to Isometric, and then rotate the drawing area (Left & Right mouse buttons down simultaneously) so that the bottom of the straight portion of the leg is visible. We will construct the top sketch for the tapered portion of the leg on the bottom of the leg. The tapered portion of the leg will become an integral part to the top portion of the leg.

Select the face on the bottom of the straight portion of the Leg. Select Project to Sketch to create a sketch on that selected face, and the selected face will automatically fill the Entities to Project Dialog.

Leave the Options to Create Sketch Figure, and check the box to Maintain Association to Source Entity so that the top of the taper will change with any changes to the straight portion of the leg.

Select the OK button create the sketch for the top of the leg tapered section.
