I want to create a cylinder with 10mm walls that is 1.140m at the base, and 1.500m at the top.
How do I create that? Using scale ‘thickens’ the material, only slightly, but enough and also means working out the scale factor to suit the dimensions…
@nick.wardman, what will the height be?
The ‘Follow Me’ tool will be your best friend. Draw the desired profile (half the cross section) and apply that using a circle perimeter to follow.
This sentence makes me think that you may not be aware that the scale tool also accepts absolute dimensions. Start a scale operation, then type in a desired target dimension including the unit symbol like 5” or 13cm.
