          Hi Rich O brien, thank you for your quick response

          yes fredo scale work but is need to select the complete polygon just for that 😞

          i search a tool that capable of rotate by edge selection on keep geometrie in the same time
          just like blender

          its ok but need its to select the entire polygon and its not rotation its moving from fredoscale

            What tool? I just approached the problem differently. Instead of rotating the top, I cut the cylinder off at an angle with a cutting plane. Draw the cutting plane at the desired angle and use Intersect Faces to create an an intersection. Then erase what you don't need.

            This method also makes it possible to make more complex cuts if you need to.

              Ok thank you Dave

              Its many solutions for make this but im just " slowed " compare to blender tool for this little task
              this fonction miss me alot.

              i dream to select the edge contour from the top and just rotate it ^^ and the geometre still in place.

              Again thank you for your time.

                It's time to learn a different program and approach. This method isn't complicated and it doesn't have to be slow. It gets you what you asked for, too.

                  SU doesn't use the same geometry manipulation method as Blender.

                  Blender can target pivot points and 3D cursors. Adding this to SU would make it troublesome to use for a concept modeling application.

                    I must say I don't understand your reluctance to use Fredoscale for this.

                      i use it ! its freaking awesone tool !

                      its just you need to select the entierly model for that

                      in this case its easy to select your model but in a more complex model ?

                      imagine you can make this just on selecting the edge from top ?

                      But i now, su is not the same with blender.

                      thank you again

                        If you build your geometry correctly and use groups and components you would only need to select the group and taper it.
