Tapered Pipe or tubing

Hi all,



I am looking for information on how to model tapered pipe in Solid Works. Not only straight tapered pipe, but tapered pipe with no straight lines in it? Any info here would be appreciated.



Thanks Larry

Sweeps with guide curves or lofts with guide curves depending on the shape you are talking about. If you use a centerline and a guide curve you can cause a profile that is constrained to a guide curve for it's size to grow along the guidecurve in a sweep operation.
