Regarding rhe taper module:
Two values need to be added.
First is how far down from the top is the design going to be placed. Even though it’s linear, it still alters the final outcome of the shape. The farther down it’s moved the narrower the top and the wider the bottom. If the top is moved down to the point to where the bottom previously was, the top width is now the same width. However, since the bottom of the design is also farther down it’s even wider.
Secondly, adding an amount of wrap around of the object also impacts the final width. Currently, we don’t know whether we’re intending to make it do a full wrap or a partial. Yes we can scale after the fact but doing it on the front end improves the workflow.
Would it be possible to retain that information for the shape’s properties? If something doesn’t look quite right, the numbers are lost and you have to start from scratch. Things like moving the design a little farther down or making it wider come into play and may be the only tweaking needed to get the final desired outcome. Having the numbers retained would definitely improve the workflow.
