Dave, this is awesome and I will download plug in. Since you are curious, I do custom metal work and have a line of furniture and lighting. Right now this is a design drawing, then it will be a full-size mockup in wood cut out with c and c router, then it will be a pattern for sand-casting in cast iron, then it will be a fireplace grate, or part of it.

thanks so much for the help! Victoria - tuellreynolds.com

I need to make a cone (easy part) transition at some point into a square at the bottom.
so plan view is a square but the top view is a circle much smaller than the square.

To be specific a 3" square into a 1-1/2" circle 9" tall

if anyone can steer me in a direction it would be great!
