How do you taper extrusion?

To create a tapered extrude:

1. Select the object to turn into a tapered extrude.
2. Select Model > Tapered Extrude.
3. Enter the Height (Z) of the extrude and the Taper Angle. A positive taper degree shrinks the object as it extrudes, while a negative taper degree widens the object.
4. Click OK to create the tapered extrude.

How do you specify direction of extrusion?

You can specify extrude direction with 2D and with 3D sketches by specifying a direction vector as the Direction of Extrusion.

…

Direction vectors include:

1. Cylindrical faces.
2. Points in reference geometry.
3. Reference planes.
4. Linear edges.
5. Conical faces.
6. Reference axes.
7. Sketch points.
8. Vertices.

How do you change the direction of extrusion in SOLIDWORKS?
