          So just using Move on the endpoint/corner wouldn't work for you?

            No, I posted a simple example for illustration. I'm dealing with substantially more geometry 😞

                  Example? The simple example you posted wouldn't be too hard - but it'd be difficult to make it scale. How is the real life scenario like?

                    ...I think having pivot point in SU would be very beneficial.

                    I suppose in this example I am looking for linear falloff extrude

                      Not one step, but relatively fast:

                      • draw face
                      • use EEbyVtO (Extrude Edge by Vector to Object) from TIGs Extrusion Tools

                        In that case you want to apply a restraint on all the vertical edges to keep their directions. That would be doable. But I think you'd have to create a custom tool as this would be difficult to do with observers intercepting the native tools.

                            for me with Fredo's taper tool it's a one step.

                              Excellent! 😳 πŸ’š 😎 β˜€ πŸ‘

                              The trick was to take the entiere object! πŸ€“ πŸ˜’

                              Same remark than above: you must draw first something for the "Hot Point" with the protractor! πŸ€“
                              Because the Taper Tool has a distance and not an angle!
                              Normally a simple Help Line with the protractor is sufficient! πŸ€“

                              Morality : a rotation with constraint is just a tapering tapered taper! β˜€

                                Not so vicious! πŸ˜‰
                                Fredo Scale again! β˜€
                                Tapering of the bounding box seems make the trick ! πŸ’š So the Doh Duh for Rich! πŸ˜„

                                & CleanUp by Thomthom at the end! πŸ˜‰

                                10 seconds with a hand attached in the back πŸ’š
                                Of course you must make an Helper guide line of the angle wished first by the external Top edge! πŸ€“
                                So 2 seconds more! πŸ€“
