I am a novice in engineering applications of VW, and I'm stuck on a simple task.
1) Draw a trapezoid and then extrude it, so that the extruded dimension is longer than the others.
2) Rotate the object in 3D view so that the former z-axis replaces the x-axis. I.e. the trapezoid faces are now on the ends.
3) I want to add another cut to the ends, so that each face will have a unique taper.
I have read the discussion on "cutting 3D objects" but I haven't been able to get it to work. The advice was to draw the cut line and then use the split tool; but this only works after you go to Top View, which undoes the rotation and makes the cut line disappear. Any suggestions on how to make this work?
