      You are right Pilou, you haven't understood the question. πŸ’š

        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˜€

                              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€“
