Triple taper solids

Triple taper solids

Triple taper solids

(OP)
I'm hoping someone can help.  I've tried without success to creat a tapered solid, using AutoCAD 2000.  It is supposed to end up looking almost like an ellipse, that tapers in length, and height as it is extruded, almost like an airplane wing, with a varying ratio between the height/width.  (i.e. starts at 12 long and 3 tall, and ends at 4 long and 2 tall, and the back edge tapers forward twice as far as the front tapers back) Any hints?

RE: Triple taper solids

I've tried to create the geometry you describe without having any luck myself.  It is relatively easy to create a surface model, as opposed to a solid model, of your geometry.  Will a surface model suffice?

RE: Triple taper solids

I might be able to do it if i could get some kinde of a orthographical drawing maybe in an image file.ohiocad if you want just make a quick sketch and scan it in and email the image to me with the topic of this thread as the subject ill take a look at it and see what i can do and ill tell you the steps i did to make it oh my email is sherrin@shasta.com
