Tapered Curves

[lindsayland]

Hi again! I am working on modeling the armrests for this bench in Make and am having trouble with curves! Creating the 1/2" face along the inside edge is easy enough but because the bench tapers using the Push/Pull tool doesn't align the bottom edge of the armrest to the outside edge of the bench. I tried using the follow me tool, which kind of worked but resulted in the armrest surface being crooked...also tried soap and bubble and sandbox with no luck. Appreciate any suggestions!

So one edge of the armrest is on a smaller circumference than the other? Would it work to make it as if straight then scale the other side to fit the taper? You'd select one surface and scale it.

The picture left to right tries to show the original, scaling using the side handles, and finished.

Ok thanks! That worked!
