Working with face editing commands

The second set of modify commands is related to face editing, or to commands that are based on the faces of the 3D solid. As we will see in this section, you can add a taper angle to the solid body face, create an extrusion using the solid body face, or you can offset the faces in a way similar to the 2D curves. In this section, we will take a detailed look at these commands and their alternative methods and options.

The first command in our list is called taper faces. Let’s now dive deeper into its details.
